I just bought and tried some of the transfer paper this summer and it was awesome, used it on foam kin's, for several years I have used carbon paper with great success, but you have to trace over it pretty hard to get a good outline, with the transfer paper barely any pressure at all and it is on there beautifully, and a big plus is it just wipes off with water, carbon paper does not. I have yet to try it on a real kin and am wondering if while carving and things start to get juicy does it clean off your pattern. overall i think it is awesome, i haven't poked a pattern in over 10 years and never would again it is a major pain especially if you are doing alot of real pumpkins with the transfer paper you can get your patterns all on well ahead of time with poking once you compromise a real kin you have to carve it so it doesn't start to rot, i like to have all my patterns on and ready to go a few weeks before we carve. only cons in my opinion is i find it a bit pricey and I only can get like 3 kins done with a sheet
