A complete family of professional transfer papers built for sublimation, color laser, and inkjet workflows. From soft-hand cotton tees to brushed metal awards, candle decals, leather, wood, and full-color temporary tattoos. One brand, seventeen papers, zero guesswork.
Paropy is engineered around the printer technology, not retrofitted from one base sheet. Whether you run a Sawgrass Virtuoso, a white toner laser, a desktop Epson, or all three, there's a Paropy paper tuned for the work.
Sublimation, color laser, and inkjet papers, each formula tuned to its printer technology. No compromise sheets that try to be everything to everyone.
From workhorse 80gsm sublimation to two-step self-weeding laser, water slides, leather and wood, soft-hand inkjet, and full-color temporary tattoos.
Polyester, cotton, blends, mugs, tumblers, tiles, brushed metal, glass, wood, leather, candles, soap, ceramics, photo panels, mouse pads, skin.
Each Paropy family follows a slightly different process. Pick a print method below to see exactly how it works, step by step.
Heat turns sublimation ink into a gas that bonds with polyester or coated surfaces. The result is a print embedded in the substrate, not sitting on top of it.
Print your design mirrored onto Paropy sublimation paper using a sublimation printer.
Heat-tape the printed paper to a polyester garment, mug, tumbler, or coated blank.
Apply heat (typically 385–400°F) for 45–60 seconds with firm, even pressure.
Remove the paper. The image is permanently bonded — no fade, no peel, no cracking.
Toner fuses to a release coating. Heat transfers that coating onto fabric, leather, wood, or metal. Versatile across many substrates.
Print your design on a color laser printer. Most laser papers print right-reading.
Align on your fabric or hard surface. For leather, wood, or metal, mirror first.
300–330°F depending on paper. Time varies (40 sec for wood, 90–180 sec for metal).
Let it cool, then peel. Soft hand on fabric, scratch-resistant film on hard surfaces.
The accessible workflow. Any inkjet printer, any cotton garment. Light papers for white shirts, dark papers with opacity layers for black tees.
Light paper: print mirrored. Dark paper: print right-reading. Standard inkjet printer.
For dark paper, trim closely around your image. Light paper has minimal background.
Light: ~375°F, peel warm. Dark: 375°F for 20–25 seconds with heavy pressure.
Soft hand, vibrant color, minimal cracking even after repeated washing cycles.
A two-sheet system that removes the unprinted background automatically. No cutter, no tweezers, no tacking. Built for white toner laser printers.
Print your full-color design on Paropy A-sheet using a white toner laser printer.
Press A-sheet face-down onto B-sheet. The B-sheet bonds to your image only.
Pull apart immediately. Background stays on A. Your image is on B, fully self-weeded.
Press the B-sheet onto your shirt. Soft hand, high opacity, zero trimming time.
A glimpse of what people actually make with Paropy paper, day in and day out.
Filter by print method, fabric color, or substrate. Every paper here exists because a real print shop needed something the previous one couldn't do.
Real reviews from real customers. Lifted verbatim, lightly tidied for clarity, and credited to the paper that earned them.
My absolute favourite paper for sublimating on hard surfaces. Great ink release, not too thick. It's the only paper I use now.
Used them for mug sublimation and the quality was excellent. No pizza-wheel residue and the paper was easy to use.
Have used a couple hundred of these sheets and they work great. Thicker, gets fewer pizza wheel issues than thinner product.
Easy to print, feeds easy, ink dries fast on the sheet. Black garment shows true.
Works in most laser printers and copiers. This paper has printed successfully on every printer we've tested it on.
Paropy Laser Tattoo is a great temporary tattoo that lasts for a couple of days. Easy two-sheet system, fully laser-compatible.
The Paropy family is broad on purpose. Here's the fastest way to land on the right paper without reading every spec sheet.
Mugs, tumblers, polyester shirts, photo panels, mouse pads, ceramic tiles. You want sublimation paper.
White or light shirts? Use light papers. Black or dark? You need dark paper with an opacity backing.
Self-weeding two-sheet papers for white toner laser printers. Press A and B together, peel, then press to garment.
Candles, soap, glass, ceramics, leather, wood, brushed metal, awards. Specialty papers reach where heat presses can't.
Full-color tattoos that last a couple of days. Apply with a wet cloth. Inkjet or laser version available.
For sublimation rolls in 24, 36, 44, or 63 inch widths, the 105gsm Tacky paper is the high-volume workhorse.
Weight changes how the paper behaves. 80gsm is lighter, dries faster, and uses less ink, making it ideal for high-speed and high-volume jobs but not recommended for after-market inks. 120gsm is heavier, holds more ink without bleeding, and is the safer pick for full-saturation prints, after-market ink users, and anyone fighting pizza-wheel marks.
Self-weeding (also called TrimFree) papers eliminate the cutting and weeding step. Designed for white toner laser printers, they come as a two-sheet system: you press A-sheet and B-sheet together, peel, and the paper itself removes the unprinted background. Then you press to the shirt. No cutter, no tweezers, no tacking. Massive time saver for full-color graphics.
Not directly, no. Sublimation chemistry only bonds with polyester. SubliCotton transfer paper is the workaround: it carries the sublimation ink onto cotton fibers, producing a thin, soft transfer with minimal fading or cracking. SubliCotton Light is for white and light shirts. SubliCotton Dark is for dark shirts.
Match the paper to the printer technology. Sublimation papers work with sublimation printers (Sawgrass Virtuoso, Epson with sublimation inks, Ricoh). Color laser papers work with oil-based and most non-oil-based color laser copiers and printers, with TrimFree variants requiring white toner laser printers specifically. Inkjet papers work with standard desktop inkjet printers using pigment, dye-based, or sublimation inks.
Dark transfer papers carry an opacity layer (often white) that lets your design show against dark fabric. That opacity layer is what gives you bright, readable graphics on a black tee instead of a muddy ghost. Light papers don't need it because the fabric is already a bright printable surface.
Yes. Paropy Tattoo paper comes in inkjet and laser versions and uses a two-sheet system: print on the carrier with the special coating, apply the adhesive sheet, cut to shape, and apply to skin with a wet cloth. Tattoos generally last up to three days. Used for events, race numbers, film and theater, and the school project that suddenly got serious.
