Transfer paper for Cricut is an excellent way to easily transfer images and designs onto a variety of materials. Whether you need to add intricate designs to a handmade craft, or you want to quickly add some personalized text to a t-shirt, Cricut transfer paper is the perfect tool for the job.
Types of Transfer Paper
Transfer paper for Cricut comes in two primary types: iron-on and adhesive. Iron-on transfer paper uses heat from an iron to bond your design onto the material you’re working with.
Adhesive transfer paper is used with a transfer tape and applies your design directly onto the material without any heat. Both types are great options depending on what you need, but if you’re looking for something that will last longer, then iron-on is the way to go.
Materials Compatible with Transfer Paper
When it comes to materials, Cricut transfer paper works on a variety of surfaces including fabrics such as cotton and polyester blends, as well as wood, cardboard, glass, and metal. It’s important to make sure that whatever material you choose is compatible with the type of transfer paper you have chosen. For example, if you are using adhesive transfer paper then it cannot be used on any fabric or other materials that will melt when heated such as plastic or foam.
Other Considerations
When using Cricut transfer paper it’s important to remember that all of your designs should be mirrored before printing them out on the transfer paper. This will ensure that your final product looks exactly like what was designed in the software. It’s also important to take into consideration any additional items needed such as an ironing board and protective cloths when using iron-on transfers.
