\"\"<\/a>I’ve tried this transfer technique before, with limited success. I’d call this limited success as well, but I’ve got a few ideas about what I’ve done right and what I’ve done wrong. That’s progress.<\/p>\n

I made a psd file with 4 images from 2 pages of my insect book (see here<\/a> and here<\/a>) and reversed the image so that the lettering would transfer right-way around. I printed the image on JetPaper — I have some from way back, so I think it’s the right stuff — on my Epson 88+ inkjet printer. Following instructions from the Yahoo group Inkjet Transfers<\/a>, I trimmed the image and used a 1-inch foam brush to cover both the image and the receiving paper (Arches Text Wove in my journal) with a coat of Golden Fluid Matte Medium. Then I put the image face down on the page and rubbed the back with a bone folder for awhile. When I pulled up the image, some of the image came up with the paper and some of the paper stayed on the page. I was able to rub off some of the paper that stayed immediately, and some more a little later when everything wasn’t so wet — using a wet finger.<\/p>\n

Even now, 5 hours after I made the transfer, and after I’ve photographed it for the blog, I find that I’m able to rub up a little more of the grayish white paper that was covering the image.<\/p>\n

I was also interested in what happened when I painted and wrote over the transfer and the matte medium. Arches Text Wove is a nubbly kind of paper, but I’ve come to like — or at least understand — the sizing. Where there was matte medium the ink — sumi — was laid down more smoothly but the hairlines were thicker and I had to write fairly quickly to avoid pooling ink. Where there was just paper, less ink came out of the pen onto the paper and I had to write more slowly. I drew a red line of colored pencil indicating where the matte medium stopped. The same was true with the Zig Millennium marker write above it; there was no ink flow problem, but the line was smoother over the matte medium than directly on the paper.+<\/p>\n

Interesting. A lot of this I already knew, but doing it again brings a more immediate knowledge than the filed-away kind of knowledge. I want to try this some more transfer and some more matte medium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
