Correspondingly, can I use any printer for heat transfer paper?
Heat transfer papers are designed to work with either inkjet or laser printers and are not cross-compatible. So, if you have an inkjet printer, you will need inkjet transfer paper. If you have a laser printer, you will need laser transfer paper.
Similarly one may ask, can you iron normal paper onto a shirt? No, regular copy paper won’t work for transfers like this. How hot does the iron need to be? If you’re using a cotton shirt, use the cotton setting. Otherwise, you’ll want a lower heat.
Likewise, can you put iron on transfer paper in a printer?
Suitable printer inks
This concern is unfounded, as normal inks will work just fine. The secret to the transfer process lies in the paper rather than the ink so there is no preference as to which printer or which ink you use as long as you are using an Inkjet printer.
