- A little explaining
First take a transparency (OHP) sheet and roughen the surface with a 100 grit sand paper in Vertical horizontal and diagonal directions. THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT THE PRINTER INK DOESN'T SMEAR AND FORM DROPLETS LIKE IT WOULD ON A REGULAR SMOOTH OHP.
You can polish this rough side with a very little Vaseline (too much will spoil the printer and the printout) using a cotton cloth so that the ink comes off easily into wood.
Use normal inkjet printer with dye (water) based ink to take print on the rough side.
The printout should be in LEAST RESOLUTION (draft mode) as more ink will cause droplets on the print and spoil the detailing.
Prepare the wood by sanding it first and then apply some Fabric glue. Normal glue has too much water and will cause the transfer to smudge and smear.
If using normal PVA glue like fevicol make sure to let it dry for a while before placing the Printed side onto it.

I’ve watched multiple methods and think this method is brilliant! You can actually see where it goes and to add print on top of print for depth of color, awesome!
+cre8tivkj thank you. And also its instant. Do check this video to transfer on a T shirt. ruclips.net/video/5f9XCptJhdo/видео.html
So I finally tried this. I used PVA glue on the wood. I didn’t sand the OHP sheet as one side was already textured. Worked pretty well.
That's immensely pleasing that it worked for you. Do watch our other videos too.
Thanks for the demo. I gave you a thumbs up but -- OMG! That music. AARRRRGGGGGG.

Video is great about transferring photos to wood. Obviously (to me anyway), this video is not intended to show you how to use photoshop. Just as it doesn't show you how to use a mouse or how to use a PC or how to use a printer, or a camera or any other way to prepare an image. Personally, had it included full details of how to edit an image - in a printing video - I would have skipped it onward. This is a great concise video of the method to print onto wood.
+Mark E thank you!! That's exactly what I made this video for. A basic computer graphics knowledge is expected from someone who's attempting something like this.
@@Cutart Since there are so many programs that could be used to produce a photo you probably could have left the Photoshop step out altogether. It just seems to confuse people. People who know how to do it don't need it and people who don't know how to do it can't learn from this tutorial on printing, so I would just focus on the printing aspect. Thanks for the video. I'm going to give the dry method a try.
the best print on wood video...
Thank you!!
Amazing project! The only issue is that no matter how residual, that very thin layer of Vaseline will start to accumulate on the printer rollers and ink heads. I can't imagine that after time your rollers, or inkjets, will survive well. Dust will stick to that stuff inside the printer. I'm going to try this but with a $10 used printer off Craigslist.
+Glenn Krieger that's correct!!

Great idea..am certainly going to try this....one thing though in regards to the credit card you should specify your " wife's credit card"
I wouldn't recommend taking such a big risk just for a simple DIY. Do check this new transfer video, you could save the previous credit card ruclips.net/video/vdgp6sHvUzs/видео.html
Easiest way to do it, I've seen yet! Thanks!
Great video! I have tried it twice but I'm having a problem: When I press the print against the wood, the ink will smear all over. Any ideas why? Thanks!
You are using too much adhesive. Try not using any adhesive, just rub a wet cloth on the wood, to make it "moist" not wet. And transfer without shaking the sheet. Or if you are using adhesive, let it dry out a bit before transferring. The excess water causes the prints to smear. Less is best.
thank you for your views. do check our other videos too.
Use the "Contrast" adjustment before you print to make the image bolder. Also, if you let the glue dry a little longer it will absorb more of the ink. And would vellum work? It has a slight texture so you shouldn't have to sand.
+Gary Myers Hi!! Those are good inputs. Will definitely try. Vellum is something I haven't come across. If it absorbs ink then won't work. Has to be plastic as that would keep the pigment loose on the surface.
+Gary Myers also I got quiet a dark wood with patterns. If you get a light shade wood, the results will be much better.
wax paper
Snow Mercy with wax paper the I know will make droplets and spoil the image. The roughness provides extra surface area for ink to adhere to.

Enfin un système qui permet d'avoir une belle qualité de transfert !!!
MERCI !!! SUPER !!
Nice one !!
+Rémy CORCELLUT thank you so much..!!
+Rémy CORCELLUT ruclips.net/video/vdgp6sHvUzs/видео.html this one also!! Similar but without glue..
THIS PROCESS IS MORE ECONOMICAL BECAUSE YOU CAN PRINT IT IN ANOTHER WOOD AND THE TRANSPARENCY PAPER YOU CAN USE IT UNLIMITED.
Exactly!!
Thanks for sharing! Simple, fast, inexpensive and looks great...
+Balmy Day thanks for your appreciation!
Very good idea. Looks nice
+D S 8 thanks!!

You can used wax paper (the paper behind sticker)
Tried it but the ink smears and forms droplets that don't make clear prints.
DON'T FORGET THE MIRROR IMAGE SETTING!
Right!!
hi just reading your comment - is that setting on the printer ?
@@ChristopherClaudioSkierka Yes in the printer properties settings.
I came from the other video. Thanks for suggesting this tutorial! I will try this one too! I have some transparency sheets laying around... I hope it’ll come out as nice as yours did.
Thanks friend!! Liked and subscribed
Totally amazing, thanks for idea and detailed video
Thank you for a nice comment!!
Easier if done using the backing of a labels page. No need to sand or clean the paper off. Just print, apply, peel off. And best of all, it is reusable.
Good printings everyone.
+Private One will work with pigment sublimation ink.. not with water dye based ink most commonly used.
@@Cutart
I know that it works with toners.
That much I only know.
I love your both things printing & bikes

Very nice,can this be done wid laser printer as well.
Sorry no. This method is for inkjet only.
Thanks
I love your video. I am very calculated and exacting like you were but what did I do wrong? I followed it to a T, hundred grit sandpaper every direction both the transparent film and the wood, which is already a pre-made craft wood very flat Vaseline, but not too much And it printed fine, but it wasn’t very dark at all and it’s brand new ink and a very good printer and then when it transferred it was pretty smudged. I don’t know if I maybe went a little overboard with pressure as I was transferring it once I saw it was ruined. I quickly wash both and after sanding, I can give it another run, but do you have any ideas? Could it be too little fabric glue too much fabric glue type of fabric glue, the vasoline?
Don't use Vaseline. And wait for the ink to dry a bit before transfering. The wood need to be just slightly moist and not really wet for a good transfer.
Simple and easy my ass. Thats a lot of work for one transfer.
+Troy Yarbrough your ass might be simpler and easier... Thanks for watching...

BRAVO. GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Nice tutorial but the "music" was annoying.
Trick is simple. but I think the head of the ink catridge will damage soon. Ink catdiges are made for normal (smooth) printing paper; not for rough plastic sheets or any other materials-right?
No sir, cartridge doesn't contact with the sheet. So no risk.
Thank you for your reply, Cutart. I appreciate it.
best and easiest technique i've seen!!! thanks.
Thanks!! My pleasure. Do try it.
A better medium instead of fabric glue is ready mixed wallpaper paste, it gives much less bleed and much cheaper and available to buy, hope that helps?. Cheers.
+Dave Maher Yeah!! There can be a lot of alternatives, I found fabric glue easily available and suited for my project.

vaseline itu sama kaya lotion bukan sih ?
Thank you, this is brilliant! I definitely try this!
+DuniaGiana thank you!!
nice..but im worried about the vaseline in the printer
It's optional. Not necessary
@@Cutart oh ok thanks
Great idea sir! One of the best tips for everyone!
How about when I print my design then I will put it on other day it will still work?
Yes no problem!!
@@Cutart thank you have a nice day! 😊
Use inkjet print mailing labels...no rubbing and no runny ink
+Baby Bunch haha!! Yeah if the title was printing on an envelope and not wood.
@@Cutart I think they meant you can use the backing paper from labels instead of the transparency paper used here. The waxy coating works very similar to this.
Too much work. Use Reynolds freezer paper. Much faster and less work. Someone said to try parchment paper, too.
Cool upload.
i also like the music , nice work sir
+BAZA بازا thank you so much!!!
Your definitions of the words "simple" and "easy" are apparently totally different from mine.
very good work
+Rafael R Fuentes thank you!!
really cool process~ the video just needs some written instruction on how to do the photoshop process. a little slower video would help immensely.
+Arthur Trella Photoshop was just about getting the size of the printout to fit on the wood panel. Then taking print in mirror mode and lowest resolution (draft mode). Not many people understand Photoshop and may be using other software so didn't focus on it so much.
Yes, and also on how to handle the mouse thing.
Your video is very useful
+Urvashi Urvashi thank u!!
Possible to use Polycrylic water-based polyurethane instead of fabric glue?
Yes. Should not be watery. Wait for it to get tacky. Once you can touch and leave your fingers impression, apply the transfer sheet.
thank you I thought this couldn't be done
Hi. Just found this. Good work. How many times can you reuse the OHP sheet? Thanks.
Lots. 10 or more .
something i always wanted to have a go out but i leave it till tomorrow and so on lol,,, Did you seal the finish work afterwards? wont it smudge if it gets wet then the person rubs it? Thanks in advance for the answer
You can seal if you want glossy finish. Otherwise it's quite stable won't smudge or smear easily. I have been using this piece as working board since making of this video and the print is still sharp.
Yo lo hize y la impresora se atasco por la vaselina y después de quitar la vaselina pudo imprimir pero la tinta se chorrea en la madera por el pegamento
good
Thanks!!
Terimakasih,,, dari Indonesia
Finaly I silenced the video... But I liked it.
+vizcayado You are quite smart!! Thank you!!
thanks for sharing bro...
+Thomson Tunggal Perkasa my pleasure bro!!
Will this work is a transfer for anything other than would such as paper or canvas ceramic, etc.?
Yes will work on fabric canvas and paper. But not sure for ceramic.
Could you use a laminating sheet instead of the transparency sheet and follow the same method?
+Joanne Dozier yes you can. But I suppose lamination sheet is thinner than acetate sheet. So it will be difficult to sand it.
@@Cutart thank you, I'll give it a try and see what happens.
@@joannedozier6312 ruclips.net/video/vdgp6sHvUzs/видео.html
Check this new video also. No need for any adhesive..
Joanne Dozier thx
This is 100% original aaa
Hello, what will be the difference between fabric glue and PVA glue? At the glue you use in this video, is there any other glue with the same result?
The fabric glue is a lot more dense has lot less water. You can use PVA glue but have to wait for it to dry a bit before placing the Print to avoid smearing of the print. You can simply dampen the wood also. By wiping it with a wet cloth instead of using any glue. Any excess water will smear the print.
@@Cutart ok thank you for all your information. All fabric glues are usable ?
Muchas Gracia....Thank you...Very Good...
Can we do final touch for glossiness with wood fin polish
Haven't tried so can't comment.
Está genial!!!!! Y con impresora de tinta
I gave it a go, but the ink smeared when I placed the transparency on the wood. Do I need to let the glue dry more? If so, how dry should it be?
+Bryan Mac Lean yes glue needs to be quiet thick... That's why I used fabric glue..
+Bryan Mac Lean test with your fingers if you can see impression of your finger print on the glue, it's dry correctly. Must be tacky...

This is great thank you. Couldn’t I just put vaseline onto printable acetate though?
+Amanda Henderson hi!! No that would not work as printer throws small droplets of color ink on paper to create an image. As the drops are put on a smooth plastic sheet they just merge and roll around spoiling the image. Rubbing sanding the sheet creates a lot of small valleys that hold those tiny drops in place preventing smearing and merging of drops of ink.
Surely you'd have to print the images onto the sheet in reverse for them to come out the correct way, otherwise the writing would be reversed when printed..!! That seems logical to me.!

Who you use paper in this?? 🤔 🤔 🤔
Is there a way to do this without photoshop?
Photoshop is not necessary. You just need to adjust the photo to size. Print in low resolution
I have some cuncern in use a petroleum jelly, would it that jam the printer?
+Paulo Lodicora not really if you use very little and spread(polish) properly as shown in the video. You can skip that step if you have concerns in first trial.
Thank you, I will try with petroleum jally, like yours recommendations.

How long do u need to wait till it's dry and add more deeper color?
is it safe for the printer?
Yes it is. You can do it without using Vaseline if you have doubts.
Need any coating to preserve the paint
If you wish to. Otherwise not. This piece I have been using as a working board and the print is still fine.
Just take a photo copy ,no need for all that with clear card and sanding
Gr8 work. Can we transfer in canvas also the same way.
Yes you can. Thanks
Pls can you help me plss,, in wood can I transfer but with normal papers
+Azra Shabani ruclips.net/video/5f9XCptJhdo/видео.html
Use this method.
Hi, can you Tell me what is the product and brand do you use to protect ink after make the Transfer ? thanks
I didn't use any, but you can either varnish or laminate it.
Fantastic! Tks.
Woooooo! It's Amazing
Thanks!!
Thanks, so easy
Do you put Vaseline every time before printing , or just once ? And what exactly does it do?
Thanks.
+DMKA100 No you don't have to use Vaseline every time.. just once. It helps ink come off much faster and easily into the wood. Also prevents the Plastic sheet from sticking to the wood.
Thank you, this method looks really awesome, where did you get this transparency film?
DMKA100 If you live in India it's available easily at any stationery shop. Otherwise it's available online or any craft store by name of Acetate or OHP sheet.
hi, after the surface dries up, how smooth is the finish?
do i need to sand it down further?
can i apply a coat of poly urethane or lacquer spray on top of it to prevent it from spoiling further?
thanks
+R Thomas hello, no you do not have to sand it.. it's really smooth just as much as the wood itself. It will not spoil for a long time... Still if you wish you can apply a clear coat if you like..
Cutart thanks dear
Cutart tried this method, but in the first attempt the image got smudged (probably too much fevicol). In the second attempt it did not transfer properly😢. I had used fevicol SH, could that have created the problem?
+R Thomas sir did you use the Fevicol Shoe Fix?? That won't work as it's synthetic. You need to use Fevicol fabric glue. It has the right viscosity and adhesion for the purpose and is water based. Also try transfering the image on a thick paper sheet dampened (just moistened) with a wet cloth..
Cutart I used fevicol SH used for wood joining. I'll try with fevicol fabric glue
if i dont use the Vaseline, is it going to be okay, Sir
Yes that will be fine
Do you sand off the glue afterwards?
No!!
Wowwwwwwwwwww...Thx for share
Wow. That worked really well. Do you just wipe away the excess glue?
Not after transferring the print.
How definitive does the transparent paper do?
Please be more elaborative.
Couldnt hardly read it..black wud have been better,thanks!

Can you use a gel medium like modge podge brand, instead of fabric glue?
+Katie Dunlap We here in India don't get modpodge. So haven't tried it and made this video as an alternative to modpodge. But you need a water based medium to transfer water soluble ink used in inkjet printers. Modpodge is used for laser printer and sublimation Ink printers that are not water soluble.

Great tips. Do you use inkjet printer or laser printer?
+ongky marindra it's in the title buddy!!
Cutart oops.. sorry I missed it. Thanks.
Amazing bro! 👍
But, can I replace the fabric glue with wood glue or Fox glue?
+Kurnia Saputra yes you can. Has to be high viscosity. Too much water in glue will spoil the print.
Yes regular Elmer’s. Most dont know that modge podge is just glue with water but thats for like gluing napkins. But regular old fashioned glue, not the newer tops of washable kids glue that they sell on back to school sales.
can i use laminating pouches the same way? in not whats the difference between Transparency OHP and laminating pouches?
Lamination pouches have to be sturdy and thick enough to tolerate the sanding. Also should be soft enough for the printer to be able to bend while passing through the roller. I haven't tried them.
@@Cutart i've seen it in a couple of other vids but i wasn't doing the exact same project type as they were.. Mine is more geared towards what you're doing here, that being the reason i inquired.. i will try it I guess. but will laminate them together for the sturdy factor, otherwise they're wayyyy flimsy
@@harleyhoney85 You can find OHP/ ACETATE/ TRANSPARENCY sheets too easily online and in craft or stationery stores if otherwise you need them.
Can this method be applied to the cloth ?!
Or do you have a better idea ?!
