Inkjet Photo Transfer Method

Use your color ink-jet printer to create awesome image transfers by following this article contributed by Nina Bagley

Tools:

  • Digital image from computer Inkjet printer (will not work on heat-set copies like laserjet or photocopier)
  • Glossy photo paper (recomment Jet Print Photo from WalMart - 60 sheets for $15)
  • Water
  • Foam brush
  • Paper to receive image: 90 lb -140Lb hotpress watercolor paper or manila envelope
  • Heat Gun

Directions:

  1. Print a color image by inkjet onto matte photo paper. (Be aware final product will create a reverse image of what is printed.)
  2. Use the foam brush to wash the image with a sheen of water
  3. Place the image face down on receiving paper or envelope
  4. Burnish the back with a paper towel
  5. You can use the same glossy photo image up to 4 times. Each image will be more faint and ghost-like than the previous.
  6. Dry with heat gun right away to set.
  7. Admire your results!
