Does anyone know the kind of transfer the iron-on that came with the HSC vinyl package is?
I got the 'From the Future' one pictured here:

Basically I want to make one based on a line drawing of mine, and I've never seen anything available in art supply stores like it. The iron-on sheet itself was raised ink in the black areas, and that's it - it transferred only that ink to the shirt. Superquick and easy, too.

Anyway, I don't even know what to search the web for, since I don't even know what to call this type of transfer....any help would be great. Thanks.

I buy special paper in a stationery shop, and then just print the draw/pic with my own printer (obivously do the reverse mode with coreldraw or photoshop). No need to say there's special ink and printers for that matter, but nowadays you can get a decent quality with almost any printer.

so my advice is just go to the biggest stationery shop in your area and ask for the right paper to do that

Avery makes really good iron-on paper too. They even have one that's specifically for putting on dark colored shirts. Pretty cheap and you can get them in staples and Walmart also. Think you get 5 or 6 for $8. Just peel slowly and if it starts to resist at all, start ironing some more.

I just re-read your post and I think you are talking about something totally different, right?

Thanks - gonna try that I think. I've used other products like what you linked to in your other post - the key here is getting only the ink to transfer. So I think the paper (even though the ink won't be raised like the HSC iron-on) is the way to go....

Yeah - I've used what you're talking about, but this (the HSC iron-on) is something I've never seen available anywhere...so maybe that iron-on paper is a possible answer....I wish I knew who in the Beasties camp made the transfers.

This site has just about every kind of transfer paper there is. I haven't seen the HSC iron on but I'm sure you can find it or something similar here- good luck :)
