How do you iron on dark t-shirt transfer paper?

Can you use iron-on transfer paper to transfer images onto paper or canvas?

• I'm a multi-media artist and I want to experiment with using iron-ons on different materials other than just t-shirts. Could I use them on canvas or just like regular drawing paper?

• Answer:

  No, the iron on paper is designed specifically to transfer images to cloth, not paper or canvas. You could end up with a fire if you tried it on certain papers; at best the paper would be badly scorched. Canvas is too heavy and the image probably would not transfer correctly. What you need is other forms of image transfer media, I'd do some Googling to see what would work best.
