Six quick tips for using water soluble transfers on polymer clay

I've seen a lot of questions about people not getting great results with water soluble transfers. They are so easy to use but these are a few tips that might help you get better results.

Thanks for the info. My main problem is the transfers don’t look as vibrant as the originals? In fact, sometimes the colors actually change between the finished polymer piece and the original print. I use office max laser printers and smartsolve paper. What do you think? Thanks

A couple of thoughts. I think fresher, stickier clay helps the image stick well, as well as washing off any leftover paper after baking. I bought a Canon image class laser so I can adjust the color density and they come out quite vibrant. Not sure if you can adjust that on yours? I have not had any noticeable color changes after baking but it’s impossible to know what pigments/plastics are in each laser toner color. Red color paint for example is common to change color with baking.

@@ClayBoxSupplies thank you! I guess your printer was expensive. I think my clay might have been a little old because I’ve never seen premo so crumbly. ❤️
