Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paint
- Titanium White: amzn.to/39vaLVH​​

If you want to print your own laser prints, you'll need to print with a toner based copy machine or laser printer. Inkjet prints do not work well in my opinion. Below are some laser printer recommendations:
HP LaserJet Pro M15w (with genuine ink cartridge)
amzn.to/2PL5Fxs​​
HP Laserjet Pro M118dw
amzn.to/3cEpM9J​​ (with genuine ink cartridge)
You can take your images and have them printed on laser at your local copy shop. Or have them make copies on their laser copier.

Hey Diane! I want to see them when you give them a try!

[@deborahneumann9162]

You are the first person I've seen using mostly text for a transfer... I LOVE IT! Thank you SO much for the idea! (: Deborah

[@LaurieTrumpet]

I love to layer the transfers too with text.

[@dinieherbert]

Have been looking for tips on how to layer and collage a magazine transfer on the plate, this is awesome, THANK YOU! Will try to get some done today 😊😊

[@LaurieTrumpet]

You are most welcome!

[@joannekalvaitis3120]

Thank you for posting this. Most informative were the fails as most videos sort of skip over that part! Try, try again👌

[@LaurieTrumpet]

Yes. Everyone has the fails! Thanks!

[@tweetypeets]

Help, what do I do with all the fun papers I have created. Such fun! Thank you Laurie

[@kathleenreimer8514]

I have 2 gel plates (not really sure how I ended up with 2) that I have never used. I just can't wait to pull them out tomorrow and try this. I will spend the rest of the night going thru magazines and tearing out pictures, etc

[@LaurieTrumpet]

Oh! Awesome!!!! Also check out the Gel Print Experience on MixedMediaMad.com!

[@Pamsartplace]

Wow

[@119Granite]

Do you have certain magazines you use most often for your prints? Never seen it done with white as a base.

[@difehernandez]

Hello Laurie, your work is fabulous, I love it. I tried to copy it but I think I am doing something wrong, as I don't get the images transferred. Do you prepare the papers with some material before transferring? Sorry if I am asking something you comment in the video, I don't understand all 100%. Thank you!

[@lauriewilliams7893]

No. I do not coat them. The trick with the magazine transfers is a glossy page, high contrasting images/text AND a thin layer of dark color acrylic paint. Dont press the image too much as this will cause a complete pull-up. You want just enough contact for the paint to resist the magazine print. I hope this helps!

[@difehernandez]

@@lauriewilliams7893 Thanks for the tip, I will keep trying!

[@lindatuplin3914]

I have tried the technique shown for image transfer and all my images do is pull up all the paint without leaving an image. Suggestions?

[@weekiwacheepaperco8334]

Never put your brayer down with the roller on the paper. There are little feet or an edge on the other side to prevent the paper from sticking to it.

[@LaurieTrumpet]

Good tip. And I know that...the hard way, actually! LOL! I just set them down for a second when grabbing something. Honestly, I get so excited step by step that I forget.
