Does anyone know real name for transfer type paper?

Question

It comes in silver and gold for crafts and also black and comes on a backing and when you put it against a surface and rub it it comes off the backing and sticks to the surface. Anyone know what its called? as its impossible to ask for it without knowing its name!

Thanks everyone. From those answers i've found out its also called graphite paper.
In answer to one answer i did try asking for it at my local (pretty rubbish) DTB stationers who said they had never heard of such a product and i would need the exact name!

Answer 1

With all due respect; NO I don't know a defined name; but suggest "Impossible" means you aren't questioning the proper people.

MICHAELS sells it; as do many other Craft related stores; and someone in that store; perhaps in the Framing dept. with some knowledge; not just a seasonal clerk, should have the answer; or at least direct you to the aisle where you can find the product. Without question it isn't uncommon.

Answer 2

It's called "rub on transfer paper". I know that seems a little easy, but you can ask for brand names if you want as well, such as "Grafix Rub-on", Lowe Cornell, etc. A website below will give you some information on several brands.
