I LOVE this. I bet it would work beautifully on smooth Bristol paper or nice Hot press watercolor. I bet either alcohol inks or watercolor would be so beautiful. I only worry about finding a good image to transfer. I guess I need to test my own printer to see if it works for me. Thank you for a great video.

I love your Channel, thank for sharing❤❤

[@JaneDunnewold]

Thank you so much!

Fab. I can’t get Citra Solv in the UK but found something called Sonnet Orange Power Cleaner. If it doesn’t work I could think about doing some cleaning with it!

[@Patchworkalicat]

How did you get on? Did it work?

[@eg1art4life]

I just looked on Amazon Uk and they do sell Citra Solv

[@BlueZion9]

Thanks for the tutorial.

[@JaneDunnewold]

You're welcome!

[@evelynstemple8130]

I love the no chemical aspect of this technique. I am going to repaint the surface of a play table. Would this technique work on a painted smooth surface?

[@JaneDunnewold]

probably not. It won't be absorbent enough.

[@cindyfromsydney7693]

Fabulous! Thank you!

[@JaneDunnewold]

You are so welcome!

[@einabq]

That was so cool!

[@aidanohare2872]

This is awesome! Can I use this method on canvas?

[@JaneDunnewold]

The surface of the canvas may break up the image. Give it a try.

[@wisewordings]

Very cool! I've tried the altered paper thing with Citra Solve, but this looks awesome too!

[@JaneDunnewold]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Watchin_ghost]

This is so cool! Thank you for sharing!😍

[@JaneDunnewold]

Thanks for watching!

[@cccalloway6224]

Does it matter what type of fabric? Like does this only work on natural fibers or can I use anything?

[@JaneDunnewold]

It will work on any fabric.

[@RainDropps]

If I were to print on a silk scarf using this technique will it be hand washable? Great share! Ty

[@JaneDunnewold]

Yes it will

[@eviedun]

Amazing! 😘

[@katmcgee9516]

Question: are you using full strength or diluted? It looks pale in your bottle?

[@JaneDunnewold]

Full strength only.

[@maureenburger9121]

Would you need to use an iron? If I transfer to paper (or to cloth) could I let it air dry? Maybe I could use gloss or matte acrylic medium on the paper afterwards.

[@JaneDunnewold]

No iron ever needed. As a matter of fact it will smear if you iron it while it is still damp. No need for a sealer either, unless you want it to be shiny for some reason. It's good to go just exactly the way it is.

[@susanbarrett4603]

I wonder if there’s a substitute for CitraSolve that isn’t orange based? Most citrus doesn’t bother me but any orange related citrus is a terrible migraine trigger for me. But this process is so fascinating I’m almost considering trying an N95 mask, gloves and working outside with a fan!

[@JaneDunnewold]

I believe Wintergreen oil will also work for this, but I have not actually tried it.

[@j.travelerbooks7628]

Citra Solv is expensive. Can it be diluted a bit with water and will it still work?

[@JaneDunnewold]

A little goes a long way so it will last a long time, but it won't work if you dilute it.

[@ashasinha4981]

I loved the video My query is where to get this Citra solve?

[@JaneDunnewold]

Online is probably most likely.

[@k.laffite4666]

Thanks so much for this video! My question is, where can I find a regular photo printer - would I have to buy my own?

[@JaneDunnewold]

Most laser b/w printers will work. You can buy an "old time" photocopy machine and they aren't terribly expensive but make sure it uses carbon toner.

[@zetbaer9464]

Thanks for reminding me about this technique, Jane! So easy! I can't remember, does it work as well with color laser prints?

[@JaneDunnewold]

No, it doesn't seem to work with those, but check out my inkjet tutorial on organza because that might fill the bill for you.

[@caciliaarnold7077]

citra solv can't be bought in Europe. Can you tell what's made of? Or does anybody know an other product that can be bought in central Europe?

[@JaneDunnewold]

I scouted around about this and don't have a real answer about a substitute like Citrisolv, but apparently wintergreen oil will do the same thing. Hope this helps!
