Here's how to transfer laser-printed images onto other surfaces, such as wood, metal, plastic, stone, canvas, and more. I also answer the questions I get most often.

Cannot get this to work at all. Can anyone suggest printer setting??

@TheCrafsMan 10 ай бұрын

Hey there! Sorry to hear this. I can tell you I've gotten this to work on a variety of printers, but depending on the print (primarily things like toner density / saturation) I may have to adjust it AND/OR be sure I change the "paper type" or "paper handling" from "Normal" or whatever default is to one of the special settings. This varies from one print driver to the next, but I've often had success with options like these: - "Overhead Transparency" - "Film Paper" - "Specialty Paper" If it cakes up, it's more prone to scratching because it's loosely clinging to the surface (toner isn't ink, it's tiny plastic-ish particles that get fused/melted to the paper.) You'll notice this sometimes in areas with a high concentration of pure black (RGB 0,0,0). A simple lift of the dark values (use Levels or even Brightness/Contrast to quickly adjust) can help, as can a reduction of saturation. Also, I get asked a lot about if you can coat the print with the transfer medium. The answer is yes, especially if using acrylic poly finish, which remains fairly clear even at thicker coats (vs. ModPodge which can look milky if not applied thin enough). And the label release paper is technically re-usable, so long as it's not crumpled/mangled and can be fed cleanly back through the printer. Though I often find it easier just to use a new clean piece. Hope this helps!

I'm for real! This old world needs more of it. I genuinely love people. And it's not always reciprocated back (sometimes we get HATE sent back at us) but I try sometimes to think maybe that person wasn't raised in the same kind of environment as I was, so maybe they need some extra love. Maybe some of those hard hearts will be softened. I appreciate these comments. Y'all really encourage me.

Thank you for sharing this! One possible potential trick if you're worried about the image slipping as you apply it to the piece: You could maybe lay the image on the workpiece and do a dry run before you apply your transfer medium, and tape one edge of the paper to the piece with masking tape. The tape will act as a hinge to keep it registered exactly steady where you want it for when you're applying it for real.
