ATTENTION !!!

The Makerspace will no longer be supplying Light and Dark Transfer Paper. If you are coming in to use this resource we are advising that you pick up your own transfer paper. The local Wal-mart should have a supply and you could also try Michael's and Hobby Lobby In Hamilton. If you would prefer to order your transfer paper online both Amazon and Photo Paper Deluxe carry an excellent selection. We are sorry for the inconvenience. 
We currently DO NOT recommend Trans Our Dream transfer paper.
