Woodn't you need to print it reversed so that the ink on top of the wax paper is transfered? I can't imagine it transfering through thepaper
Denihilist
Nope. When you flip the paper over so the printed side is on the piece of wood, the image is reversed for you, the just iron on.
wibblywobblytimeywimey
Yup.
PluralOctopus
I appreciate that you used WOODn't.
silvermorph
I wonder if you could do this with regular paper in a laser printer by disconnecting the fuser and ironing the toner onto the wood.
acapone001
I don't think the paper would make it out of the printer without getting toner all over the printers insides and smearing.
Anecdotally, I once had a printer jam and had to yank the paper out - the toner was still on there until I wiped it off with my hand.
linerror
it would make a mess... and most printers won't work with the fuser disconnected. they make laser transfer paper for this.
cjlee89
The printer would likely not print at all because it checks the temp of the fuser/if the fuser is present.
koolman2
Not older ones. I've seen plenty of laser printers come out with cold paper and toner that falls off.
Ahh, that would make sense.
SanSamis
You're better off using TAP - transfer artist paper. Doesn't fade like wax transfers, not prone to jamming up your copier.
Aaronb1138
The wax paper is still bad for inkjets. Nice way to ruin the page separator and other rollers with contamination.
beckadoomsday
YES, just pick it up at Walmart or your local craft store and make your life that much easier. Imagining the jam wax paper might cause eugh
drawsmepants
That sounds expensive. Regular paper is expensive. Also, would that be like the wood equivalent to the..um electric uh. etching thing4metal?
pirate89RAWR
Is that the same stuff you use to print iron on transfers?
Not exactly, but it is in the same isle. It'd be a rub-on type. The iron-on MIGHT work but I'd bet on the other.

Are you trying to call the OP something? Just come right out and say it, Jonah.

Ill get on it. Does wax paper work in a laser jet ink or whatever printer?
droomph
I think it works on inkjet because it prints really densely
Beepity
If you try a laser jet printer, you get an inconveniently large paperweight. I recommend inkjet.

Don't feel bad for all the downvotes. I despise it as well.
I don't even care about internet points, have an upvote.
I like you. 'nother upvote!
DisguisedAsAnAdult
I like dickbutt,but I also like your little anti-dickbutt upvote club, and thought I`d join in, upvotes for all!
puppymonkeybaby
Remember you have to invert the image so it looks right once it transfers.
benbrockn
I was gonna say the same thing, it wasn't clear in the examples.
kalibrering
That depends on if the printer prints on the top or bottom of the paper.
wut. what printer prints on the bottom of the paper?
Uh. Sorry. Didn't think that comment through really.... But otherwise, depending on where the toners are placed they print on either side

The above says you're wrong.
IMakeEverythingSexual
Nope. The above image is showing the non inked side to the camera, since the inked side is being pressed onto the wood
So you mirror the image, not invert it.
Invert can mean to do something opposite mirroring could be considered opposite.
But inverting an IMAGE means inverting the colors, that's standard.
mikeoui
Was wondering about this as they don't do that in the example.
They do, you're just looking through the paper, ink is on the other side.
youareawonderfulperson
As the paper comes out of the printer (as shown) the ink would be facing up, right?
That depends on the printer, so no not always.
point out an inkjet printer that has the ink facing down (I think it would smudge, especially so with waxed paper)
