Default Re: Question with Transfer Papers

Hi, I am not an expert (yet) but it seems like you have a big problem. There are already transfer paper out there that are called self weeding ( weeding is the process of removing unwanted material from the design after it has been cut ) Unfortunately, it sound like you are a hobbyist and therefore I would surmise that you neither have a cutter nor a commercial press. Self weeding paper requires that the polyester material be completely melted on to the shirt so high heat is probably a must, it also requires certain amount of dwell ( time elapsed heat is applied), all this considered if you are willing to continue your endeavor, search for self weeding transfer paper in the forum and you will find your answer. Good luck.
