Do you recommend a technique for applying gel medium when it’s a larger surface? I’m using unfinished wood planks and using finger isn’t practical. The foam brushes are meh. Thanks !!
Those are the only two ways I apply it. Foam brushes or my finger. The finger is just to make sure you have 100% 'wet' coverage (not dry or tacky) and there are not hard bits from the lid of the container. You may want to watch my most recent videos on using Mod Podge after spray protecting the transfer paper. Then you can be a little more liberal with the glue (Mod Podge) and use the foam brush (or whatever you like) to apply it.
@@imagetransferswithrix thanks. I’m currently trying to find a commercial printing company that will use your paper. So far Walgreens has shut me down. Heading to FedEx next. Anyone reading this with their recommendations or tips on that is appreciated. Buying a color laser printer is not possible since I won’t use it enough to justify the $$$. I have a inkjet.
@@larainewoodruff3739 On the subject of inkjet vs color laser, you'd be surprised at how quickly you'll dump your inkjet if you owned a color laser. Unless you are printing photos onto photopaper, the inkjet ends up costing more in ink than you'd spend on color toner. Color laser printers print beautiful color pages for everyday use and as you've seen in my videos I use it for pictures as well. There's also no need to run a color printer through cleaning cycles that eat up all your ink which is $$ into the dumpster. With that said, let's go with what you have. Some folks go to one of those 'copy' places. If you use any of them, do not STACK the paper in their printers. Tell them to feed one sheet at a time to avoid sheets pulling in other sheets. Or, you can try out my 'inkjet' trick. ruclips.net/video/rRWHZSQNJAQ/видео.html
@@imagetransferswithrix thanks so much for your reply. I’m going to see if FedEx will let me do it at their laser jet. The inkjet process you do looks good too although I think it’s a finesse thing I might need to work at 😂 but it’s definitely an option ! Thanks again !
You're probably right. Now here's the thing. If you glue paper that has been printed on to something like wood, let it dry, how can you possibly pull it off? Anything actually 'glued' is glued. So if she is pulling parts of the image off with the paper, then those parts pulled were never glued to begin with. It's really that simple. You say you have the same problem using an inkjet printer on...what...regular printer paper? And you are able to pull parts of the image off? How is that possible, if you glued it? Glued paper to wood, when dried, is stuck on the wood. You can't pull it off. It's stuck. It's glued. Only if parts of it were not actually glued would you be able to pull off. As to using an inkjet printer, your only option as far as I know is using regular paper and doing the 'wet and rub' method. It's labor intensive, messy, and if you are not careful you'll rub off some parts of your image. That's a different method than what we are doing in these videos. This paper (Quick Transfer Paper) is meant for easy peeling as demonstrated. You must use a Laser Printer.

I saw that video about your using mod podge more now and am going to try that. It looks amazing. Thanks !!
Yes. As long as you pre-treat the paper first with a 'very' light coat of clear protection.
Hello, what paper to use and print settings? I think that's the worst part... very happy with your success 👍
The video tells you what paper. And the information is also in the description area of the videos.

Can I use a finishing product over the transfers afterward? Shellac? Poly?
Yes
She probably meant it was pulling the photo up, I have the same problem. I don’t have a laser I have an ink printer. What paper would I use?

Love watching but it's a waste of time when I can't buy your paper
The paper is currently available.
