Image Transfer with InkAid's Tranferiez

I love the look of image transfers but hadn't found a way to do it that fits with how I like to create until I tried the InkAid process with Tranferiez solution. In this video, I'm sharing how to make a transfer, how to mix the Transferiez solution, what kind of inkjet printers work best with the transfer film, and more! If you're wondering what to print on your first transfer, I've got a free download of images for you- you can get it at bit.ly/3tgLzwm

This video needed to be made. Thanks for being thorough.

[@jamessilverthorn2320]

Thanks for your videos i been looking for something like your videos but couldn’t find any 😊

[@tamracarboni6274]

This was terrific. You are a wonderful and very generous teacher.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

much love and respect to you and your channel. I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends.

[@WandaHentges]

Thanks for always being so thorough and easily understood in your information!!! Must go shopping now 😉

[@CathyBugDriver1]

Thank you so much for sharing this find, as well as the helpful info about printer ink! I can’t wait to try it out!

[@craftingwithshirley4829]

I love, love, love this method. I love working with photos with my mixed media. You have solved a major problem for me! Thank you!

[@DebbieJsCraftingCorner]

Loving this technique. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@micarson4524]

Thanks so much for this and your other videos. I've worked with the original InkAid formula on fabric with good success. But it takes much longer than this process. It can also be a pain trying to put actual fabric through the printer without troubles. You're a wonderful instructor. THANK YOU!

[@DigineeVideo]

Outstanding vid - thank you for sharing - I have tried so many times to do gel plate transfer and ugh! This is something I will for sure try!

[@CarolynDube]

Glad you enjoyed it! Gel plate transfers are very persnickety, that's why I love the InkAid way, so much more forgiving!

[@TheGoshengal]

Thank you! Im looking forward to the link for the images too

Great video. Thank you!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Great video, and very informative. You thought of everything. Thanks for sharing.

[@CarolynDube]

Glad you enjoyed it Dorothy and found it helpful!

[@createart2iowa]

Great video! I'm going to see if my printer ink will work. Thanks, Carolyn!

[@createart2iowa]

I've got Pigment ink!!!!!

[@CarolynDube]

Then you're all set Sandra!

[@suefalls1600]

Wonderful 🤩

[@myzanyself]

Great video! I see a test kit in my future!

[@CarolynDube]

Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate that they have a starter kit to try.

[@lolajoe985]

This is amazing thank you SO Much!!!! What printer do you recommend for the pigment use?

[@CyndiDuncanArts]

I have not seen 91% rubbing alcohol in stores since before Covid. I am always on the hunt, too. This looks like a very cool product.

[@stormyseas49]

This is amazing! I've known about, been fond of but hated doing transfers for years. This seems MUCH easier and also much quicker! Thanks for this video - will be checking out this product! Do you happen to know if it will work on raw or baked polymer clay?

[@marjorieholme8580]

Thanks for this clear and comprehensive video. Can the transfer sheets be used more than once? Do you need more of the transfer liquid on fabric because of absorption? I’m loving this idea.

[@CarolynDube]

You are correct Marjorie, on a more absorbent surface you do need to use more of Transferiez solution. Transfer sheets can only be used once.

[@asawyer208]

ok..I love this..hv to try it soon! also..I'm curious to know what the black organizer behind you is? looks like skinny paper drawers?

[@CarolynDube]

It's a vintage metal cabinet, too small for paper but holds other stuff.

[@Nanakinsz]

Thank you for all the testing for us, Miss Carolyn! What do those of us with B&W laser printers do, tho?! :)

[@CarolynDube]

The image transfer techniques I've done in the past with laser prints didn't work so well for me so don't know what to say.

[@Nanakinsz]

@@CarolynDube I'll explain to hubby how you said I NEEDED an ink jet printer, too... :)

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

This is so cool! 😁 It's interesting to note what 'too much' and 'too little' looks like so you can do it deliberately. 😊 I wish I'd known about all this stuff when I was doing my degree! 🙃

[@gigidelmar7638]

Hi Carol, Can I use laser printer as well?

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

COOL!!! =)

[@CarolynDube]

Thanks Phoebe!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

You're welcome. =)

[@estellagarcia9910]

I was wondering if when printing photos do I need to reverse the image?

[@Szuszi57]

Wow! Great info Carolyn! What about color LaserJet? Were you able to try that?

[@CarolynDube]

Hey Klara, how are you! The InkAid process only works with inkjet.

[@Szuszi57]

@@CarolynDube Thank you Carolyn! Doing ok. Not as much time in past few years for my art (caring for elderly parents, daughter got married this year, etc etc etc). But my time in my studio is sanity for me. Thanks for asking. Hope all is well with you too. You look great, new studio is beautiful! Miss your energy in action in person. I watch all your videos!

[@natalie6389]

Hey I’ve just come across your videos. Is there and alternative to Inkaid Transferize?

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

I noticed none of the transfers transferred completely. Would you get better results if you let it sit for a longer period, say 3 minutes?

[@RMurrell31]

Question, can I use pigment ink and stamp instead of a printer?

[@glynesmewton7033]

Waiting for longer would help??

[@loristone4636]

What printer are tou using? Having problems with my inkaid😢

[@zartist]

You can do this much quicker with any image film such as Apollo. Print it on an ink jet printer then apply a clear gel medium on the surface you want to transfer to. Rub with a thumb carefully or spoon. then wait3-5 minutes. then slowly lift the film. Check Gary Reef's video for better instructions.

[@TheDottiDot]

Are these transfers shiny when transferred and dry?

[@CarolynDube]

They are shiny when dry, but not as shiny as they look when wet if that makes sense Dotti.

[@geribeam556]

Is there something that can be used with laser printers?

[@CarolynDube]

I haven't had much luck with the laser printer type transfers using other techniques Geri.

[@yelena86]

👍✌️🙏❤️

[@CarolynDube]

Thanks!

[@CarolynDube]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tlf2022]

When printing on the InkAID transfer film do I need to change the setting for thickness or will it print ok using the default computer paper setting? Your video breaks down the process and makes it easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try this on fabric.

[@CarolynDube]

Glad it was helpful! When you do it on fabric it does make the fabric stiffer. As for printing the transfer film, it's like putting a transparency sheet through the printer Teresa. On my printer, I tell it to automatically detect what I'm printing on but every printer is a little different.
