For T-shirt designs, what’s the difference between the paper on which you don’t have to reverse the design?

and the one which you do. Since there is a kind of transfer paper for which you don’t have to flip the design, why does the other kind still exist? Other there any benefits to using the one which you have to reverse?
why does it have to be reverse for white fabrics though?

I’m assuming your talking about heat trasfer paper. The type that you have to reverse the picture is for white or light colored shirts.

The other type, you print out your design like normal, then peel the layer of film off the backing, then iron it on. That type is for colored shirts, but it will leave the white surrounding the picture. You can trim off most of this white.
