printing images to wood
after searching i find a few different methods to get images on wood seems to be a gel that is used to extract the pigments which then adheres to the wood then the image on the wood is fixed with some other coating like a poly spray anyone done this and have any hints only considering just a few colors and nothing hi res |

It will dry with a white backround. Then use "real turpentine" and paint the wood with a good wet coat. Place the transfer image side up on the wood, removing all bubbles. Leave for several hours. The transfer will "soak into" the wood. Finish with any oil or spirit based varnish and the backing will be totally invisible and the graphics will be "permanent" |

He still needs the inkjet to print it to the paper. Either that or a Laser printer. We used to prototype ciircuit boards using lazer print on newsprint - iron it onto the board then disolve the paper off the back. |

Actually IIRC we used paper from a magazine - the "glossy" magazine paper. After ironing it to transfer the roner the paper is soaked off = soak it, then leel it - then rub off the final layer of paper. I've been told using the packing paper from sticky l;abels works for toner transfer with NO SOAKING required - just carefully peel it off. Have not tried it. |
