a ? about transfering and designs

[Aaronsmom]

Please confirm If I understand correctly.
If I use the dark transfer paper...white will print white.
So I should design in a "box" and include test in the box otherwise I would have to cut everything out? and I am sure it is extremely difficult to trim around text? If I use white transfer paper will a layer still be visible? Also, I need to mirror the image?..not sure how to do that...I am using PSE

I can help with some. I only use dark transfer paper. Some I did in a box, others I just cut very close to the image (I use a paper cutter), and some I cut in a circle or oval shape. The "extra" prints white, once you print your image, you will have a better idea of how you want to cut it.

There will be directions on the paper pack about if you need to flip it or not. I use the paper from ebay, and I don't flip it.

Usually, with dark paper you don't need to flip the image. If you're using transfer paper for white, you will need to!
