Last night I tried my hand at gel medium image transfer again.
I've had VERY limited success in the past. In fact, it's only worked once (see the palm tree tile/coaster in the previous post). I thought, alright, I've finally got it...but then last nights massive ink smearing disaster happened.
Am I putting the medium on too thick? Am I not leaving it on long enough? Am I using the wrong printer? Does my "most bang for your buck" budget gel medium just suck? I've watched countless youtube instructional videos and feel that I am doing the exact same thing...except it never works. The one successful transfer I did using paper...but I saw this lady using transparency paper and thought it look a lot easier...so far i haven't come close to making it work.
Just a bit of a rant.
If you CAN get it to work you can make some really cool images
...probably too much medium.
