lazertan inkjet
Bonjour,
I bought some lazertan injet paper and have tried without success ( I would event say it was a catastrophy!) to correctly transfer an image to baked clay. Has anyone tried that product ? I need your advices badly! Thank you Xtine Alibert |

Xtine,
I haven't tried the product myself. Have you contacted the company directly? Another resource is www.glassattic.com, specifically this page: http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/transfers.htm I would be interested to know what problems you've experienced, as I have an inkjet printer and was interested in the product.

What I have read is that you want a paper with no cotton in it. I guess
the cotton fibers are the problem. That's why magazine prints work so well. You are supposed to be able to use laser prints as well. ...Stephanie.. |

Magazine (and any other glossy ) paper has a very thin clay coating.
most ink jet papers dont have this coating. This thin layer of clay keeps the inks from soaking down into the fibers (wood pulp, cotton, and so on) making more of the ink available for image transfer. The smooth surface of glossy paper (magazine, glossy photo, etc.) also allows a much higer resolution image to be produced than with the comparatively coarse inkjet, laser, DP and typing papers. And I thought those graphic arts classes at comunity college were just wasted time... ;o) KS "Stephanie" wrote in message oups.com... What I have read is that you want a paper with no cotton in it.

I know that is an expensive paper that basically allows you to make
decals. What kind of printer and ink did you use? What process did you follow? What kind of finish? What part was the catastrophe? Wrinkles on the finished piece? Sarah |

Sarah fyi & fwiw I believe I saw it on sale in latest DickBlick catalogue... hold a sec (figuratively speaking!) http://www.dickblick.com/zz104/46/pr...asp?ig_id=7833 The inkjet and silk seem to be back ordered though, due 04/08. So that did a lot of good huh? Why oh why did I go to that site. It always cost me money!!!!!!! -- Polly --- don't spook my groove... icq 13968113 http://saxoncreek.com/ |
