Thank you so much Steph, you really really did try this out for us all and I really really appreciate you for doing this. And yes 👍 the image was there, but it’s very faint. You gave it your very best shot, and we know what to do now. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thank you for demonstrating so many techniques, sad that few really worked well. The thing is, I had thought the image should remain on the plate and not yet transfer to paper. The point would be to keep it on the plate and then add layers of colour as one wishes (but each layer must fully dry), and then pull the print after adding matt medium (fabulous) or white paint. I have had little success but when it has worked it has with certain glossy magazines (but very inconsistently). I've inked the plate, rubbed the image from the magazine and then removed the magazine image and voilà, the image/text remain on the plate. Let it dry, add other colour(s), let them dry and then do a final wipe with matt medium and print. I have seen videos where it works very well on laser jet printers but never on inkjet (although one site shows a wet inkjet image transferring but my inkjet images are never wet coming out of the printer). I'm off to but a laser jet printer: www.xerox.co.uk/en-gb/office/printers/xerox-b230-printer
You certainly gave this a go! I have been going to give it a try with some printed photos my children sent of the grand children. Maybe not. You have serious tanaciety 😁🖐🏿 TFS. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks Evelyn. It may be worth a try. I think a different printer might give a better (or worse) result but I don't think you'll ever get a fantastic image. I gave it my best shot. Thanks for watching 💗
It was so nice seeing picture of your family ❤️❤️this technique is a nightmare, something it works sometimes it doesn’t.. I stick with the image from glossy magazines 🌸❤️thank you for sharing and stay safe lovely Steph 🌸😘xx
Thanks for experimenting and trying it out, love how you persevere and try and get a result, which you did... Hope you feel better soon, I am on day 4 and still feeling a bit groggy but much better than the first day, try and take it easy! Thank you so much for sharing, take care, hugs x
Oh my! Groggy is the word for it lol. I couldn't do my video this afternoon because I can barely talk. Couldn't string a sentence together. I think the biggest thing here making a difference is the printer. I am sure different ones give better results. But I tried everything I could think of. Thanks for watching. Hope your grogginess wears off soon xx
@@woollysteph I know what you mean, just take it easy, I couldn't craft this weekend and had some extra rest but it does get better, I promise 💚 I think you are right about the printer... thanks for trying anyways, take care and rest up lovely 💚😘
Thanks Ashley. Couldn't string a sentence together this afternoon so I've had to abandon my plans for my other video. I've had a nap and feel a little better. Early night for me I think! Thanks for watching 💗
Ive been trying this today and wondering why its not working, when the videos on here make it look possible. Thanks for making me feel less of a failure! Could you recommend a reasonably priced laser printer so I can actually do transfers? Thanks.
Gorgeous images it's a potty they didn't work as well as you thought but I think experimenting is a good way of knowing what works and what doesn't 😊 tfs ❤️
I experimented my socks off Claire but I think the actual printer has a large part to play. I'm sure other people get better results with a different machine. Thanks for watching 💗
Thank you for giving this a try Steph, looks like the darker the picture the better the result. The cat transfer and the one of your dad was fab. Reminded me of my dad, he smoked a pipe too 😃 XX 🌈🥰💖
I tried, Ros lol. I'm thinking a different inkjet printer may give a better result but for me this is about as good as I can get it. Sorry there was no "wow" moment lol. Have a good week 💗
I think they will look good for a subtle background. Thank you for trying this out, I very much appreciate it. When I have invested in a gelli plate I will try it out too XX 🥰💖🌈
Thank you Màrgaret. I'm already tucked up in bed ready for an early night. Hoping I feel better tomorrow. I don't like to be beaten by things. So I do tend to keep on trying. Thanks for watching 💗
Did u try printing on photo paper , it being more glossier like the vogue magazine maybe . U had a good go though Steph .lol. lovely photos of your fam . X
Yes the photo paper I used first but it didn't work at all. I swapped to normal paper after watching a video but I think there are too many factors to control it, the biggest being the printer itself. I think that's why some people get better results than others. Thanks for watching 💗
@@woollysteph oh sorry Steph ,who do I think I am now hey ,getting to big for me boots ,🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's my earphones 🎧 they hey that good now ,and wen them trying to talk to me an all. Lol. X
@@handmadebyabbigale6848 lol no worries. My speech was quite slurred this morning. I had to give up my plans for another video today because I can't string a sentence together. So I was probably difficult to hear. Hopefully better tomorrow xx
I’m a 1969 baby too ❤❤ thank you for the video!! I just bought my first gelli 🎃
Congratulations! Have fun with it! 💗

Thanks Mags. Yes a little disappointing but hopefully answered Ros's question. Thanks for watching. Have a good evening 💗
Did you ever try double printing the photo before giving it shot? Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow! So cool! I really like the results! 😊
Thanks Pamela. I was a little disappointed. Was aiming for a "wow" moment lol. Thanks for watching 💗
You need to put something on the plate BEFORE you try to leave an image. Try a very very thin layer of acrylic medium.
Thank you. I will give that a try 💗
You certainly gave this a go! I have been going to give it a try with some printed photos my children sent of the grand children. Maybe not. You have serious tanaciety 😁🖐🏿 TFS. God bless and stay safe.

Thanks Antonio. Possibly different printers give different results? I have it my best shot. That's enough for me lol. Have a good week 💗
Thanks for doing these experiments. I don't think I will be trying this technique. Tfs xxx
Yeah it's a lot of effort for little reward. Thanks for watching 💗

@@annlane1358 thank you 💗
I like the ghost like effect. You have some real inventiveness 😀 I’m having a very lazy day today. I hope you feel less groggy soon 🤓🤗🙏

I’ve yet to be able to make it work yet ..you’ve been more successful than my attempts to date 😬 how does everyone else manage it on RUclips? Ha
I wish I knew! Have you checked out Michelle Mixed Media. She is ace with image transfers! 💗
Lol... Love the cats eyes, very interesting tfs Steph...Kia Kaha...

Hi, thanks for commenting. I'm afraid I don't have a laser printer and would not be able to recommend one to you 💗

Use Black paint
Thank you 💗
Don't need to show failures ONLY successes!!!
I will have to disagree with you there. I think it's important to show both! Thanks for watching 💗
It is wise to learn from other people's mistakes.
