Transfer Paper

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Definition: A paper that is coated on one side with gray, black, white, blue, or red material that aids in transfering a design to a surface. Paper is placed, color-side down, onto the surface. The desired design is placed on top of transfer paper, and a stylus or pencil is used to trace the design so it transfers onto the surface.
