This series is great! I was getting tired of going with my kids to the craft store to find the stamps the "absolutely had to have," watching them settle for "this will do," taking them home and watching them stamp everything within reach (I really liked that T-shirt), only to find the stamps under the sofa two weeks later. Now that I have grandkids, making the stamps is a lot more fun and they can get the perfect stamp (whatever that means). Your ideas will take this process to a new level or two. Thanks!
Awesome! I had watched another video that used the wintergreen oil (??), not mentioning any alternatives, so I'm glad to have found your video! I couldn't find my nail polish remover, but decided to try Winsor & Newton brush cleaner (since it is also designed to remove "permanent" colors), and that worked! It took a bit more rubbing than the acetone and isn't as clear, but it works so much better and faster than ironing. I'll definitely pick up some acetone for next time, though.
Thanks, Susan, and welcome! I had to try all the printers and photocopiers I could find when I started using this method... Once I found the right one, I was in love!
DANG. I’m about to carve a stamp for a video I’m doing and got curious about whether or not there were any shortcuts for transferring the image to the stamp....sadly, I don’t have a laser printer. But man, I’m about ten seconds away from getting one because it’ll save me a whollllle lot of hassle. =>.
Can anybody share with me, what brand and type of laserjet printer that works well for this? HP/Canon/Epson, maybe? The one that you use, Brother HL 2240, is discontinued.
Hey thanks for the video! I found myself a 2nd hand laser printer and tried both the acetone transfer and hot iron transfer and both with not great results, although it did transfer partially so I think Im on the right track. Just wondering if you know if it makes a difference of you have a full cartridge of toner? or if any print settings make a difference? I am just debating whether I should try buying new toner (since it's almost out) or try a different printer. Thanks so much for your help!
Good stuff! I haven't had any trouble with transfers given the amount of toner in the cartridge or the print settings. So long as it prints in black and white, I've been fine :) If you're getting a partial transfer, you've found the right kind of printer and it sounds like you just need to get your technique down :) The iron is a good place to start with this - after you've ironed a bit, just pull a little bit of the corner up to see how well it has transferred. If it hasn't transferred enough, lie the paper back down and go in with more heat for a longer period of time... Eventually you'll get a good sense of timing. With acetone, if you use too much acetone or spend too long wiping the back of the paper, the toner will transfer back *off* of the rubber (annoyingly). Basically, any longer than what you see in this video for the rub with the acetone can give you blotchy or non-results. The best news is - and I didn't show this in the vid - is if you don't get a good transfer, you can wipe a partial transfer off with acetone and just start again :)
Very helpful and interesting. Thank you! If I could make a suggestion, though... The music is distracting and unnecessary. As an intro, fine, but not throughout. Thanks!

This works like a champ - love that I found this video

Hope to find that the library printer will work for me! Lol
Thanks for your videos! I'm working my way through.

Very cool!! Thank you ❣️
Thank you so much!!!! That is a game changer!!!
Is that just regular printer paper you used or a special "laser transfer paper?"
Just regular paper :)
Thanks for the tip! Very helpful.

Hmm okay, I'll have to keep experimenting :p
Brilliant! So fast! Why is everyone else using pencil and tracing paper?
Dunno - spread the word ;)
@@CutsAndScrapes I've bought some acetone to try your method at the weekend. I'll let you know how I get on 😊
Hello! Can I ask, what gsm of paper are you using? Thank you!
Is this waterproof? Dishwasher safe?
Thank you
Does the toner interfere with you ink. Do you have to clean the toner off before you print?
No, it doesn't interfere with the printing, but if you want to remove it for appearances, you can just wipe it off with more acetone :)
so, I am a little confused..why does what printer I use matter?
Does this work with coloured photos?
If it's a laser printer, yes! :)
what is the liquid that you've put to transfer the image on the rubber
Hey Naima - it's acetone! :)
Can i use inkjet printer ???
Not for this technique - you need a laser printer.

i can't watch because of the distracting music.. i would love to learn more though!
Thank you
