Acetone Transfer: Take a print out on ordinary paper and use a cotton ball soaked in acetone on the back to transfer, incl to glass.

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

12 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 1

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.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Yup.

I appreciate that you used WOODn't.

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.

12 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I don't think the paper would make it out of the printer without getting toner all over the printers insides and smearing.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

it would make a mess... and most printers won't work with the fuser disconnected. they make laser transfer paper for this.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The printer would likely not print at all because it checks the temp of the fuser/if the fuser is present.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not older ones. I've seen plenty of laser printers come out with cold paper and toner that falls off.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ahh, that would make sense.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You're better off using TAP - transfer artist paper. Doesn't fade like wax transfers, not prone to jamming up your copier.

12 years ago | Likes 140 Dislikes 0

The wax paper is still bad for inkjets. Nice way to ruin the page separator and other rollers with contamination.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That sounds expensive. Regular paper is expensive. Also, would that be like the wood equivalent to the..um electric uh. etching thing4metal?

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Is that the same stuff you use to print iron on transfers?

12 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

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.

Ill get on it. Does wax paper work in a laser jet ink or whatever printer?

12 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

I think it works on inkjet because it prints really densely

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you try a laser jet printer, you get an inconveniently large paperweight. I recommend inkjet.

Remember you have to invert the image so it looks right once it transfers.

12 years ago | Likes 333 Dislikes 2

I was gonna say the same thing, it wasn't clear in the examples.

12 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

That depends on if the printer prints on the top or bottom of the paper.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

wut. what printer prints on the bottom of the paper?

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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.

12 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 13

Nope. The above image is showing the non inked side to the camera, since the inked side is being pressed onto the wood

12 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 1

So you mirror the image, not invert it.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Invert can mean to do something opposite mirroring could be considered opposite.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

But inverting an IMAGE means inverting the colors, that's standard.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Was wondering about this as they don't do that in the example.

12 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 1

They do, you're just looking through the paper, ink is on the other side.

12 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

As the paper comes out of the printer (as shown) the ink would be facing up, right?

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That depends on the printer, so no not always.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

point out an inkjet printer that has the ink facing down (I think it would smudge, especially so with waxed paper)
