      you don't have to crumple the paper .. just use special transfer paper for sublimation printing and the paper will peel off beautifully.....

    If you're doing a distressed sign that you want to look aged I think the inkjet graphic compliments the aged look. You can always go in with prismacolor pencil to enhance the copy a little bit. 👍 Thanks for showing the two types of printer ink processes. Very helpful.

    Thank you for the comparison. For the Inkjet = What you can also do is OVER Sharp your image, especially if transferring photos. Then get crazy, you can OVER Saturate any colors. Like it will be "too much," then when printing, do the highest quality = more ink is put down. Print, let it dry for a bit, completely dry, then do the Mod Podge.
    I always thought it odd that tutorials say it's not possible to transfer if using an inkjet. The OVER saturation and the OVER sharpening help make up for the result you're seeing here, which is flat, out of focus.

    The channel, “Red Rocking Bird,” has a tutorial with an inkjet, and it worked great for her. She doesn’t use hair spray, but I have heard that might help. I haven’t tried it myself, yet, but I do want to try it. I have learned so much from both of your channels. You are such a great teacher. Thank you, for showing the difference, so we can explore, with the tools we have. I noticed one thing she did differently, is that she worked in small sections, to wet it, and rub it down, so that may have helped her. Since it wasn’t all wet at once, it didn’t give it time to smudge.

    I came up with a cool idea for a product to sell in my Etsy store and a variation of the idea involved transfers of some type. As I was researching on U2'b, this video came up. I despise ink jet printers (mainly for the residual costs) and have always had a laser printer. After watching a number of videos on this method, all using ink jet printers, I thought my idea was going to die on the vine. But then I saw this and I am excited to give it a try.
    A lot of people suggested the ink jet result was better for the distressed look, but it seems you could easily distress the result from a laser printed transfer with fine sand paper and a light touch. With this method, you can control the distressing to your liking rather than accept the random results with an ink jet transfer.

    One thing about the ink jet print is how with it, the sign looks a bit more rustic to me. Like both printings, but, think I like the more rustic, ink jet look the best. TY for sharing and letting us know how to not get the dried print too wet. That was the problem I had when I tried my first "image transfer" sometime ago.

    What a great video tutorial! I only have an inkjet printer and the question you answered by comparing the inkjet to the laser jet was really valuable and informative. Thanks!
    The grammar nerd in me has to comment on the pronunciation of the Mod Podge product. It’s NOT modge podge - the first word is MOD. It’s a mistake I hear all the time, though, because it’s so easy to do!😂 I think it may have been named Mod Podge because, years ago, mod meant new and improved.
    Anyway…please forgive my fanaticism! Your channel is one of my favorites.

    Good morning and Happy Easter! I use ink jet, but treat it more like rice or decopage paper. I dont flip the image, but rather use the whole thing. I buy cheap printer paper, its thinner and is easy to work with, plus I dont have to do the extra step of peeling the paper off. If you hair spray your image, it's less likely to run the colors...just a thought. I love your videos and how you teach, thank you.

    I'm not a huge fan of ink jet printers for many reasons, including that a printed letter on a laser jet is infinitely cleaner without fuzzies - experience with an ink jet is poor quality or not crisp, clean letters on simple black & white printing. Having had this experience from years ago has really slanted me away from the ink jet. However, I do use an ink jet for photo printing and have good success, but it requires a top quality ink jet in my opinion. I say if you have a choice and are not looking for fuzzy of distressed use a laser printer.
    I really appreciate your comparison however, I can see that distressed-look crafters may well want an ink jet to accomplish this without having to use an abrasive to tone down their signs.

    I recently saw a video where you put a ink jet printed image in a oven at 200° for 10 min. to set the ink will this work for reverse transfer printed with ink jet, will it help the ink transfer better with no or less smudges

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 года назад

      Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried that but would certainly worth a try and it will probably help a lot with smudges. Let me know how it works it you try it! ❤️

  • @ritaharker4466
    @ritaharker4466 3 года назад +1

    I wonder if you put the Transfer medium on the wood, rather than on the inkjet picture would it smudge less? You wouldn’t be dragging your brush across the inkjet print merely laying it down on the prepared wood. Just a thought. Love your demos x

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 года назад

      I did try that technique and it didn’t make any difference. It’s the actual rubbing I found that took the image away. Worth a try though might work for you ❤️

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  2 года назад

      I have not found that to be the case I always steal my inkjet transfers with poly acrylic sealer and I think that prevents any fading

    I am so excited. I just found you today on youtube. I watched the transfer video , how to make chalk paint and this video so far. My questions is, I believe you said their is an extra step you have to use if you are using an inkjet printer to make your transfers. I haven't found that video or I missed it somewhere. Is there an extra set or am I making that up? I appreciate your reply. Thank you for doing these videos. I am going to find you on Facebook next!! Have a great day.

      Hi there! Glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. When using a ink jet you just have to use very little water and rub off in small sections at a time. It is a bit trickier but it can be done. Here is another video that will help you out :) ruclips.net/video/F17WmucEwqM/видео.html

  • @corinapare9545

    • @OurUpcycledLife

  • @CarolReuby

    I have a HP Envy 5010 inkjet printer and the black is quite stable when it gets wet. The other colours most definately are not. I have tried this with red instead of black and boy what a mess. Not all inkjets are equal. Some use pigments which make them much more waterproof. If you did this type of image transfer with an inkjet print that was very colourful I don't think you would have as much success as just using just black.

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 года назад

      Yes I agree all ink jet printers are so different with how much they run. Mine works well. I have a tutorial of a colour photo I did and didn't run or smear at all ruclips.net/video/F17WmucEwqM/видео.html

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  3 года назад +3

      Thanks for watching! ❤️ I don’t think a scraper would work that well. It would also scrape of the graphic. But I sometimes use a rag so it’s easier on fingers if that helps 🌸
