We all used the transparency right out of the printer with successful results. The transparency should be dry as it leaves the printer so I don't know what happened in your case. You also said your fabric was damp...did you brush your fabric with an acrylic medium or just use water. A medium is sticky and may hold the ink in place. I know nothing was transferred until we burnished it. I think there are a number of factors that enter into this...someone in our group brought their own transparencies with not as good results so it could have been the transparency you used.... I use a transparency specifically for ink jet (getting harder and harder to find) - not the all purpose or multi-purpose ones and not the quick dry ones...Windy Hill Happeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957049832137587277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395321918392915526.post-28886809589463109602014-03-28T09:04:46.127-04:002014-03-28T09:04:46.127-04:00Hi Robbie...it works beautifully with color...reme...Hi Robbie...it works beautifully with color...remember if there's any writing or something that needs to go in a specific direction, you need to reverse the image first before printing on a transparency. Gen did some old colored postcards...came out beautiful but the writing was backwards...Good luck...let me know how you do...Love that little white dog in your picture box...JudyWindy Hill Happeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957049832137587277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395321918392915526.post-29860246485112018372014-03-27T22:10:15.902-04:002014-03-27T22:10:15.902-04:00I have a question.

The reason I ask is I used the same stuff you have yet when I tried to do a transfer the image bled and looked awful. I had wet my cloth then printed the image and placed it immediately on the damp cloth, I did not burnish cause the ink just bled right off. So if the ink needs to dry first maybe put that info into your above instructions to save others the mess I made. tess stiebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990043775194246617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395321918392915526.post-10813696444746791592014-03-27T21:03:00.964-04:002014-03-27T21:03:00.964-04:00Very cool technique!!
