Do you need transfer paper for iron vinyl?
Yes. All of the vinyl we carry has an adhesive on one side. The adhesive craft vinyl is covered with a paper backing that protects the adhesive until ready for use. Heat transfer vinyl, also known as t-shirt vinyl or HTV, has the adhesive exposed (this is what makes one side of the vinyl look dull).
How do you heat transfer vinyl with an iron?
Can you use regular vinyl for heat transfer?
In general, all iron on vinyls should work on all fabrics and materials that can stand up to the heat of your iron or heat press, so when choosing an HTV you want to mainly consider the look you want. However, certain types of vinyl will work better for different types of fabrics or designs.
