And they work for me and for shaped wood I have been using. By changing paper, medium or surface you can get different results.<\/p>\n<p>1. Print image to matte paper. If you have text or otherwise directions matters mirror your image. I use Epson Archival Matte or Enhanced Matte paper and Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer<br \/>\n2. Apply transfer medium to wood surface. I use Royal Talens Gel Medium (glossy) from Amsterdam series.<br \/>\n3. Apply transfer medium to print.<br \/>\n4. Attach print to the wood surface.<br \/>\n5. Remove air bubbles.<br \/>\n6. Remove excess transfer medium from paper and wood.<br \/>\n7. Let dry for two hours in minimum or overnight.<br \/>\n8. Sand paper a bit and moisten with water.<br \/>\n9. Rub paper gently to remove it.<br \/>\n10. You can moisten your fingers to help remove paper.<\/p>\n<p>Image transfer can be used to transfer printed images to various surfaces. I&#8217;ve tried glass, metal, plastic and ceramic tiles. With these surfaces you need to wait longer for gel medium to dry. It might also be a good idea to put a layer of gesso under image transfer to get light colours and white to the transferred image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After making about 30 image transfers to curvy blocks of wood this is my work process.
