Proper Paper for Iron-on Transfers
What type of paper can one use for creating an iron-on transfer? I know there are special wax-free papers, but I'm thinking standard printer paper would work too.
My thoughts are to use an iron-on pen (Eg. Sulky brand) to transfer my design onto printer paper and then heat transfer the design onto my fabric.
Thanks for your comments!

I have been using the Frixxion pens when I want a design transferred to fabric.
Yes, it means that I have to trace the design over a light box, but I don't find that to laborious.
On the upside, the Frixxion is not permanent like many of the other options.
It disappears with heat (iron, hair dryer, clothes dryer).
