Stencil Paper
Stencil paper is a multi-layer sheet designed to transfer a design onto the skin. Versions exist for thermal printers, for inkjet or laser printers (with a carrier sheet) and for hand copying. The number of layers and the compatibility vary by product.
Why it matters: The paper should be chosen according to the system used to produce the design: using one not compatible with the printer can give results different from those declared.
