PHOTO transfer with ACETONE (nail polish remover) - Does it REALLY work?

This is a fun IMAGE TRANSFER video. We are going to test and find out if ACETONE works for PHOTO TRANSFER. I already know it works with text and graphics, but does it also work for printing photos? This method works on many surfaces such as wood, glass, mirror, metal, ceramic tile, stone, fabric and paper.
You can use black and white or a color photo. You can transfer text, illustrations, sketches, paintings or any other image you have. We are going to print a reversed PHOTO on a laser printer or a photocopy machine and transfer it using just acetone, or nail polish remover.

I happen to really like that effect. Will have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you for watching Darlene 🥰

[@maureenburger9121]

Hi Nitsa! Does acetone work as well as xylene that you mentioned in another video? Does a color copy work as well as black and white? Will a textured paper work? Thank you!

[@quartercat]

While in University level art school many, many years ago, we were advised to use naptha instead of acetone for image transfers. Naptha isn't as available everywhere like acetone however.

[@mary-annecancilla7956]

Wow, you never cease to amaze me with your techniques. I’m definitely gonna try it on ceramic tiles. Thank you for sharing! 💜

Love your appreciation of the final transfer! Thank you Janice 🥰

[@renang1290]

Hi Nitsa! Thanks so much for so many options! I tried this out on a plastic transparency but it didn't work. It did work when I tried to transfer to another piece of paper though. Is there any reason why the plastic transparency didn't work?

Hello. It have to be with the acetone for nails? Because i got an acetone in a art shop

Do you have any other suggestion for transferring an image without using a medium that will create a film? I want to transfer an image to the fore edge of a book

[@melittafrost2548]

Love it!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you Melitta 🥰

[@deborahharris2962]

Thank you, I have acetone nail polish remover. Would you be able cut pictures from glossy magazines or newspaper b/w pictures, and use the acetone straight on to the magazine picture or would you have to get a laser print done of them?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

The problem with magazines is that they have text or images on the back, so when you apply the acetone its pretty messy. If you can find images with nothing printed on the back, I'm pretty sure it should work. And it's also a good idea to use low end magazines and not the glossy thick pages.

[@deborahharris2962]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio thank you I will try it and see.

[@debhelfrich794]

This is fantastic! I am going to try this to transfer images to ceramic tiles that will then be outside in a garden. Do I need to seal the image with a spray sealant or will than destroy the transferred image? Thank you !!!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Sounds like a fun project! I would definitely seal the transfers with a spray sealant if they are going to be outdoors 👍

[@yasminamuslimany2882]

does it work on canvas ?

[@thedarksage328]

You might want to mention that acetone should only be used in a well ventilated area. Love the content!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Great point! I actually recorded it but forgot to include it in editing 😭

[@joychip5994]

Another different method. I am hoping in the next few months that I can afford a black and white laser printer. Xxxx I like the grunge look xxxx😍 brilliant as always

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi Joyce, you might be able to find laser printers at garage sales or thrift stores for almost nothing. That's how I got mine 👍

[@joychip5994]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio I very much doubt it in the U.K. people are a bit more frugal , 🤣

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

That's funny! What about car boot sales? I found a cool vintage camera in one of these in London...

[@joychip5994]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio I live in a very small town in the countryside Yes maybe find a camera. At the charity shops or car boot but not a printer. , in London you can find bargains but here no it’s really expensive to get a laser photo print , I have tried having copies done but they don’t work. But vogue magazine pictures work really well xxx

[@jonnellburgess3437]

Could you finish with the clear spray to bring pictures out

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It's probably not a bad idea! probably the gloss finish will do the job. Thank you for this suggestion Jonnell 🌷🥰

[@torstenneef6671]

I tried as described: nothing got transferred although I put a lot of pressure on the backside of the paper and used enough acetone. How fresh does the printout have to be? I used 100% acetone. Thanks for your advice. Would be a pity to have this liter of acetone without any other use.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Strange! the only thing I can think of is that you are not using either a laser print (or a toner based photocopy). Could this be the issue?

[@torstenneef6671]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio yes it is a laser copy - definitely

[@CHRISMED2]

​@@torstenneef6671did the transfer process ever work? I always use the chartpak colorless blender to transfer but those dry out way too fast for me. I just bought a can of acetone I want to try

[@Mekchanoid]

Thanks for this video. My Brother laser printer must use some kind of fundamentally different toner as it doesn't dissolve in acetone (although I've still to try 100% acetone rather than a solvent with mix of different substances). Such a shame as it doesn't gel plate transfer either. I've also tried printing on silica-coated paper (sticker backing) and that barely works - this toner seems to fix really well! I haven't given up though, maybe there is another solvent that would work.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Hi Greg, what's your printer model number?

[@Mekchanoid]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio HL 3140CW. It's an older colour model.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

It seems like this printer is not a toner based laser and instead it uses a digital LED technology.

[@Mekchanoid]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio Thanks, I looked on the Brother website and you're right. I have no idea what that means, although it obviously doesn't yield the same results.

[@Mekchanoid]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio It's confusing because LED printers still use a heat-fixed toner to create the final image. Is the toner somehow fundamentally different from traditional laser printers? I'm just doing some research and will update...

[@robofthewest]

At the end of the process, can you give us a better (longer) look at the final product please. Just catching a glimpse is not enough to decide whether I want to try this method. Still, love your videos. You’ve help reignite my interest in using my photography more creatively.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Sorry about that. Try to pause the video and hopefully get a better look. Also see my latest post ( go to the community tab on my KZbin channel page) I posted another example of a photo transferred with acetone 👍

[@khadijatahir129]

Can I use acrylic paints or oil paints over this?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

yes you can definitely paint over it with acrylics, watercolors, soft pastels etc. I haven't tried oil paints yet, but I think they should work as well.

[@khadijatahir129]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio thank you for the response

[@sinancnar4047]

Although I tried many times with acetone, I could not get results. where do you think i'm doing wrong

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

There might be 2 reasons I can think of: 1. you are not using a laser print 2. you are not using 100% acetone (any other concentration might now work)

[@carmenhaworth2695]

Would work on canvas too?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

yes defenitely, though in my opinion it looks best on smooth or fine surfaces

[@paulisaez]

Thank you Nitza. I talked to my friend who is going to buy acetone for me. I'll let you know what happen with my transfer.

Worked fine for me. Did you use a laser print? Also, some glass has uv coating so that might be an issue as well
