Fast Image Transfers: Part II

Lori, - it's really not strange that it works on plexi, which is probably acrylic. Glass is extremely hard and very different materail., Adhesion on glass will be a challenge for any waterborne paint. If you call our tech support group, they might have some ideas on how to work around it.

Maya - we have another video that may help some, see our "success with fast image transfers" video -- as for your two issues, #1 it can be hard to remove the paper, depending on how long it sits there and the type of paper used. #2, wetting the surface softens the acrylic and can make the image vulnerable so you have to be careful.

I think you are wonderful Melanie! Your voice is great and your directions clear. ALSO, you are ambidextrous! Yay! Brilliant.

-- Yes, this should work the same with Gloss, Semi-Gloss or Matte, though the times may vary slightly, matte may dry a tad faster than gloss. You just need to practice with whatever you use and learn to adjust for all the things that influence timing (like the absorbency of the surface, temperature and humidity, etc.)

Yeah awesome.

I have tired several times with the soft gel matte medium and getting horrible results

Check out the follow up video created by our tech team, if that doesn't help, give them a call to discuss what you're doing.

Hi, How do I clean my brushes that has hardened?

Awesome, I learned so much thank you!

Thank you! I've posters, can this method be done on plexiglass?

I really enjoyed seeing this, learning this process, and now to try it. thanks much.

Can the polymer medium be used on the canvas for a glossy finish ? if not how can we get a glossy finish on canvas?

this may sound stupid but is matte medium the same as modge podge?

It doesn't work. The paper sticks in some places and you end up ruining the whole project trying to get it perfect. If it did work she would have shown you the completed project.

Good evening! Would Liquitex gloss flux medium work for a plexiglass transfer instead of the Polymer Medium gloss?

Thanks in advance!

Can we use Gel Matte Medium? if so how long would be dry time? Thanks!

Which stores carries Golden Matte Medium?

hi. How can I transfer my drawings unto canvas without using graphite or having to trace it over

great video what paper was used?

i want to transfer a print on to paper instead of canvas or wood. the paper ideally would be around 300 to 400 gsm. which medium would u suggest i should use for that?

What would you use to preserve the plexiglass transfer? Would you use a spray sealant or other kind of product to seal the image?

Hi! I bought a Golden Gel Medium (Gloss) and aplly to a bamboo plate. I put the gel on bamboo plate then place the printed image down on the bamboo and use a roller to press the bubble out. The gel dries out so quickly before I place the paper (only in 30 secs) and the paper doesn't really stick on the bamboo. When I rub the paper off with water gently, there's so many parts were rubbed off.

May I know the solution how to get a clearer transfer? Thanks!

*I tried to apply the gel medium bit by bit and stick the paper bit by bit to shorten the drying time but it still doesn't really stick. Also tried to apply the medium on both paper and bamboo plate....

Hi. Great video. Do you know if you Can you transfer a pencil drawing to a canvis?

if i cant end up being able to do this myself, would you know any places that I could pay as a service to do it for me?

I am uncertain in respect to the image. Other than photocopies, magazine images, inkjet or laser prints would this work e.g. for lithographic images or any other prints (e.g. in old books: chromolithography)? Many thanks!

would white ink of the pic would also transfer color on canvas?

I've been trying to transfer an image to a Bluecrab shell with mod podge. I've tried to make sure it comes in contact with all the crevices but its just not coming out right and I keep rubbing off parts of the picture. Any tips on what to use and how better to transfer to textured surfaces? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thx

Hi Melanie. You are using Fluid Matte Medium, others are using Mod Podge Waterbase Sealer. What is the difference if any?

Ohhh, I totally love the one with the black branches over the pastel background. What an awesome final image.

Great video - thank you!

So this will work with a laser printer with black toner?

Can I transfer the images using polycrylic water based clear matte onto a acrylic painted piece of wood or glass?

can I use any type of glue?

IM MOTIVATED AND INSPIRED BY ALL THE POSSIBILITIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Donna

I am a beginner painter .I am from Morocco .I am very interested in your products here in Morocco There are no means I would like to see you if you help me .de sent me your products to work and published here in Africa

Would Modge Podge work instead of the Fluid Matte medium?

Thank you for the very informative video! Question if you think this can be done on a precious metal leafed surface such as silver or gold???

I'm so confused as to how this works. Were those images printed? And how does the whole thing not rub off when removing the last bit of paper? I guess I'm wondering how the ink transfers and stays behind while the paper gets rubbed off?

I want to know how 1880s artist or ilustrators used to work art noveau

Can this technique be done on plexiglass with a lazer copy?

Can we transfer the image on canvas

I’m still confused about how in the first video, the image was able to be peeled and separated from the canvas in one swipe without the need to rub off any excess paper (as there wasn’t any).

What kind of paper was used for the picture to transfer on the plexiglass?

I watched your other video and was impressed. I had not thought of the technique, but it is exactly what I need. Thanks very much Melanie.

Can this be done with a colored image, or just black and white?

Hi, that is so helpful! I need to make a very large transfer on canvas (3 meters wide). would it work by using a blueback poster (like those for billboards)? thank you in advance

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Great video ,my question is once you have transferred the image and it dries , can you then go in and paint over it with either acrylic or oil paint and will it stay on .?

This a gimmick done a thousand times....

Will this work for Inkjet images? I find it is not easy to find a Laser Printing service that makes over-sized prints.
