That is AWESOME about both the inkjet printing and being able to apply the gel medium directly onto the image after spraying with Kamar Varnish! If people don't get 'the paper thing' after that explanation, there is no hope for them! I do have a question for you though. Is the brayer you use considered a hard rubber or a soft rubber brayer? Or, does it even make a difference? Thanks, and congratulations on your successful experiments!
What kind of plastic sheet (stiff sheet) did you use with your brayer roller? I saw in your other video that you used wax paper but you've indicated that you prefer the stiffer plastic sheet in this video. Thanks.
It's just a thick plastic sheet. Don't know what it is from. All you care about is that you can see through it and it keeps your roller off the paper (and away from the ooze out). Use anything that does that and you should be good to go.
I purchased a package of paper and everywhere I try to find the Kamar Varnish is "Out of Stock," what would you suggest as an alternative? Or should I wait until it's restocked?
The Kamar was used due to lower smell as I often spray in my studio. I mention in the video that you can use just a regular clear coat spray. You just want to lightly protect the image.
@@jeangrandy8672 Though it is not made for shirts, I do have a video or two where I put images on shirts. Also, my next video is on shirt transfers. Check out the videos on the channel.
I'm planning to transfer text (black letters) on to stained wood. I know you've recommended the gel medium for transfer but since i want to transfer text, most of transfer will be empty space--except fo the black letters/text. So if I wanted to use water based polyurethane as the transfer medium--because I intend to seal the entire thing later with the water based polyurethane. In your experience, will it work? Thanks
The test is usually based on whether you can glue paper with whatever you want to use. If regular paper can be glued with your product that when dried you cannot remove it, then the product should work just fine transferring using the Quick Transfer Paper. The key is to 'glue' the image where it cannot be pulled off. The Quick Transfer Paper will allow you to 'release' the image once it has been adhered onto the surface area. My experience with poly has not been good most likely due to the fact that I will not wait the LONG period of time to adequately dry it. So when I tested it like the other glues, it was still 'wet' when I pulled the paper off. So you'll have to test or wait until a future video where I may test it again BUT allowing it to 'completely' dry. TIP: Lightly spray printed image with a Krylon clear (from a good distance so as not to 'wet' it) to protect it from moisture. Poly is really wet and you'll get better results protecting the image first. HTH
Painted wood changes nothing as long as the paint is completely dried and bonded to the wood (doesn't peel off). Flat, clean and glueable is all that is required for a good transfer.
@@RainorShine1 Still is a bit confusing to me. Photos are photos, images are images. In the end, you still have to use your printer to print it. I was wondering if he meant to glue a photo rather than transfer it. But he never responded to my request for clarity. Thanks for giving it a try.
Well, it's been a month and you haven't responded. So I don't know exactly what you are asking. Several of my videos demonstrate putting my family photos onto wood slices. Any image you can print, whether it is a photo or drawn image, can be transferred to wood (and lots of other stuff) because you have to print them. Photos and images are equal at that point.

My brayer is hard rubber. I don't think it matters though. You simply want to make good contact. :-)
@lynxlady5355 what do you mean if people don't get the paper thing there's no hope for them? What are you even referring to? Please elaborate.

@@imagetransferswithrix I missed that part, thank you so much!
How do you apply this to a shirt?? I love this paper I have ordered a couple packages from you!!!!❤

❤ thanks ordered some yay

Ok I'll order some QT paper and test it out.@@imagetransferswithrix
Nice...😊
will you get the same result if you paint the wood first?
Painted wood changes nothing as long as the paint is completely dried and bonded to the wood (doesn't peel off). Flat, clean and glueable is all that is required for a good transfer.
Great video and review of the inkjet!!
what gel medium do you use?
Just regular matte gel medium. Brand isn't important.
l would like to see you put a photographer on wood with your paper please ill be a customer for life ty
Put a photographer on wood? What does that mean?
I’m guessing you have someone with a camera stand on a wooden board or tree limb and take photos 😂
@@imagetransferswithrix photograph what they ment. Like use a photo that you take from a camera and print to your paper and see how it comes out

How do I order your transfer paper
