I apologize in advance if this is asked frequently, but I have a canon mp610 printer, I was wondering, how to buy transfer paper. You do not need to tell me about opaque paper because I only will print on light colored garments for now. But I was wondering does the ink and paper depend on the printer I have? how should I go about buying transfer paper? thank you greatly

Hi there,

My advice would be to read these guides before you start....
Yolö - Guide to Choosing the Right Heat Transfer Paper
Yolö - Guide to Heat Transferring and Heat Transfer Paper Application
Basically there are two main types of paper - inkjet & laser. As you have an inkjet printer, you'll want to look for inkjet heat transfer paper only e.g. Yolö - Heat Transfer Paper designed for Inkjet Printers.
You have an A4 printer so make sure you go for an A4 paper as some papers are available in A3. For lights, I'd generally recommend Jet-Pro Sofstretch - some websites sell Inkjet Sample Packs so that may be a good starting point.
