      Have you tried yet?
      So tonight was my first attempt at anything, total newbie, tried to do an image transfer with no luck.😢Can’t figure out why unless my paint is drying too quick on the plate? Using Amsterdam Standard acrylic.😢😢Or my laser print isn’t good? Guess I’ll keep trying. She makes it look so easy!

    I have a Brother colour laser. I set the printer driver to THICKER paper even though I'm using a 32lb copier paper. The THICKER paper setting causes the paper to move more slowly through the process. You get more toner deposited and you get a longer fuse time. I very rarely have image transfer failures with even the finest lines on an image.
    Love the addition of painting the on the gel plate itself -- stunning results and a very well constructed video -- thank you!

      @@shannonburns2289 Yes, the setting is under Preferences. Every printer driver is different as is every printer. Most Brother LASER printers will have the same setup. Inkjet printers are a different beast. An inkjet printer is not able to print on really thick paper so they may not have the option. You would set it to the thickest paper option you have and print on normal copier type paper.

Your suggestions are working well, but I am only getting any success at all with my sketch like images, but would love to transfer some of my own photos. I have been very selective in which images I try, and they seem to be of high contrast, but do not transfer in the way your storefronts do. I would appreciate anymore suggestions. And again, thank you for helping me to make progress! I love your work.

      It might be the amount of paint on your gel plate. Is there no image appearing and all the paint sticking to the photo or is the paint remaining on the plate? It could also be the amount of pressure. I posted a short last week that might be helpful ruclips.net/user/shortsvFsnONx79Fo?feature=share
      I sometimes get ones that I think will work great but then don't transfer. It can be frustrating

    Thank you for your tutorial videos. Can you use acrylic gouache or gouache for gel printing? Thank you in advance for your advice.

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  Год назад +1

      You are welcome! You can but I don't think they work well for image transfers. There are a lot of media that you can use on these plates though.

    Your work is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing these instruction. I’m not sure I understand one thing. When you put the paint layers down over the image, do you want the paint to be wet or dry before you put the Bristol down on top of it?

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  4 месяца назад

      Thanks so much. You want the paint to be wet. Then leave the bristol on it until it is fully dry.

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  4 месяца назад

      Congratulations on the transfer!!!!! I think the one that I use in the video is by a German art supply company called Boesner. However, liquitex or Golden work well for this too

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  11 месяцев назад +1

      So happy that you found it helpful. - Ink jet uses ink whereas laser printers use toner. The toner works better for this but some people do it with ink jet as well . Toner has plastic in it which repels the paint and makes this process work. So use laser and I print them on regular printer paper, not glossy.

    And I honestly would have liked to have seen you do the dolphins in water in that one photo transfer. A little old style with a lot of whimsy and movement.

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  11 месяцев назад +1

      I use a Triumph Adler. It might be a problem with the resolution of your prints. Is there no image appearing and all the paint sticking to the photo or is the paint remaining on the plate?

  • @alejandroreyesloa1231

    Hi Jessica, this is an incredible tutorial to get started with transferring images. I have one question about it, in the minute 21:00 you transfer an image then add some gel medium, put some paper over it and some books, my question is, this process will not pull off the image when the paper is removed? and how long did you leave the books over until you remove them? thanks for your answer and thanks again for this wonderful and helpful tutorial! 👏

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  10 месяцев назад +1

      I put the gel medium on after the black from the image transfer dried. However, you found a glitch in my video. The books and paper go on after the reverse painting. You are the first person to tell me about it. Thank you!!! I totally didn't spot that error. Anyway, I normally leave the books on for about 20 minutes then I will pull the paper when it feels dry. That could be 5 minutes or an hour. Depends on the thickness of the paint and the humidity.

    • @bluelavaart
      @bluelavaart  Год назад

      I’m definitely not an expert on types of printers. But I can say that the quality of your image including the resolution and contrast probably play a greater role, then the type of laser printer.

    Love your photo art & instructions. While layering your Snack Bar & Grafitti pieces, what are the fabic strips? I'm assuming to preserve the initial layer underneath?
