Transfer an Image using your Inkjet Printer

MATERIALS

• Black and white or color copy from an inkjet  printer
• Heavyweight photo Matte paper or Great White Imaging and Photo Paper Matte Finish
• Golden Soft Gel Matte medium or Golden Fluid Matte Medium
• Soft brush or foam brush
• Bone folder or brayer

 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Print your image using an inkjet printer and setting your printing options to best print. If you want to transfer text, print it using the mirror image option.
2. Position the image face up. Using a brush, coat the image with the medium, until it is totally covered. Clamp the papers together to avoid misplacement.
3. Place the image on the surface to transfer. Press firmly over the image onto the paper with your hand. Then, roll the brayer or use a bone folder to press the image even more.
4. Peel the paper back to check if the entire image had transferred.
5. Burnish again the areas that didn’t transfer.
6. Pull the paper off when the transfer is completed.

NOTES

• Use 3M Transparencies to print on. Follow the same process as for the paper.
• Use hand sanitizer like Purell to cover the paper where your want to make the transfer. Place the image on top and roll the brayer over to transfer.
