I use color photocopies (they tend to work better). I am taking a bunch of pictures from my 35 year son's Paintballing adventures from all over the world (literally) and I am putting them on fabric and making a quilt out of them. Memories to keep him warm. This will be his Birthday gift this year. Hope this inspires others...Trish GoussetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-27146773687926054702014-02-06T21:24:30.629-06:002014-02-06T21:24:30.629-06:00How do you stop clouding on transfer image once yo...How do you stop clouding on transfer image once you have removed all the wet paper?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-54952448631084780322013-12-08T19:04:41.630-06:002013-12-08T19:04:41.630-06:00You can also do this with transparencies.

Laserprints or the ink/toner is mostly nothing else as <b>carbon black or shoot with a coating of resin</b>. the carbon is the pigment, the color and the resin is the glue wich fix on the paper.<br /><br />So if you print out your text or picture on a non sticky surface you can remove it or transfer it to an other material.<br /><br />examples google "toner transfer etching" they the possibility of transfering toner to etch circuits.<br /><br />So back to method of the designer guy:<br /><br />Step 1 fix smaller pice ofbacking paper on a regular printer paper and print. The Printer has a better with regular paper because of the rolls.<br /><br />Step 2 the print of the baking paper is not really fixed so be carefully turn it upside down on the fabric and iron it.<br /><br />Why ironned? Cause the resin melts and fixed the toner with the fabric (more pressure equal more fixed)<br /><br />Step 3 viola the print is transfered to your <b>t-shirt</b> or what ever. <br /><br />So carbon black is a good quality, UV resist paint but the resin is maybe not so permanent it could be that it wshed away after wasching.<br /><br />google around in different languages many people use the possibility of transferin toner such for printet circuit bords or on t-shirts an so on...<br /><br />regards mikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-81509777648065889762012-03-29T08:59:05.308-05:002012-03-29T08:59:05.308-05:00You don´t need that gel medium...

The method in this post won't. <br /><br /><a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-stencil-with-freezer-paper.html" rel="nofollow">See here</a> for a freezer paper tutorial. Or, you could just get some iron-on transfer paper for inkjet or laser printers, whichever kind you have, and print your words on the paper, then iron them onto the onesies. Those hold up fairly well with washing. You can get that stuff at Office Max or other office supply stores.Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-15343750662864866702011-08-30T20:56:04.406-05:002011-08-30T20:56:04.406-05:00Soo glad I pinned this!
