Scope note:

Paper coated with a substance that may be imprinted on a surface by the application of pressure, moisture, or heat and pressure; it often has a backing of glassine paper. In general, it is any type of paper used to transfer an image to another surface. Examples include decal paper, carbon paper, transfer lithography paper, and transferotype (a special bromide paper with soluble gelatin first made by Kodak in 1888 for transfering photographic emulsions). The term also refers to special papers used in the process of transfer lithography.
