Mod Podge Transfer Method / Ink Jet vs. Laser Jet Printer / Will both work??
The number one question I get about my signs and how I make them .....is
Can I use an Ink Jet printer to make Mod Podge graphics or do I need a laser jet printer?
In today's video I am going to print out graphics on both printers and show you the end result.
You might be surprised!
By using these techniques you can learn how to make that distressed, farmhouse, rustic chic home decor that I love! Once you master this, your crafting can be taking to the next level!

Wonderful video! Can I use this method on canvas?

@ranadobedny1937 Год назад

you don't have to crumple the paper .. just use special transfer paper for sublimation printing and the paper will peel off beautifully.....

@Ann.O.Pinion 3 года назад

If you're doing a distressed sign that you want to look aged I think the inkjet graphic compliments the aged look. You can always go in with prismacolor pencil to enhance the copy a little bit. 👍 Thanks for showing the two types of printer ink processes. Very helpful.

@MissMolly3377 3 года назад

The channel, “Red Rocking Bird,” has a tutorial with an inkjet, and it worked great for her. She doesn’t use hair spray, but I have heard that might help. I haven’t tried it myself, yet, but I do want to try it. I have learned so much from both of your channels. You are such a great teacher. Thank you, for showing the difference, so we can explore, with the tools we have. I noticed one thing she did differently, is that she worked in small sections, to wet it, and rub it down, so that may have helped her. Since it wasn’t all wet at once, it didn’t give it time to smudge.

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

Yes it is kind of a trial and error to see what will work for you and your printer . If you figure it out it works perfect ❤️

@veronah.6553 2 года назад

Thank you for the comparison. For the Inkjet = What you can also do is OVER Sharp your image, especially if transferring photos. Then get crazy, you can OVER Saturate any colors. Like it will be "too much," then when printing, do the highest quality = more ink is put down. Print, let it dry for a bit, completely dry, then do the Mod Podge. I always thought it odd that tutorials say it's not possible to transfer if using an inkjet. The OVER saturation and the OVER sharpening help make up for the result you're seeing here, which is flat, out of focus.

One thing about the ink jet print is how with it, the sign looks a bit more rustic to me. Like both printings, but, think I like the more rustic, ink jet look the best. TY for sharing and letting us know how to not get the dried print too wet. That was the problem I had when I tried my first "image transfer" sometime ago. I never knew what I had done wrong - now I do, and, will be trying it again.. TY for sharing your methods with us.

What a great video tutorial! I only have an inkjet printer and the question you answered by comparing the inkjet to the laser jet was really valuable and informative. Thanks! The grammar nerd in me has to comment on the pronunciation of the Mod Podge product. It’s NOT modge podge - the first word is MOD. It’s a mistake I hear all the time, though, because it’s so easy to do!😂 I think it may have been named Mod Podge because, years ago, mod meant new and improved. Anyway…please forgive my fanaticism!

@robinraven4 2 года назад

Good morning and Happy Easter! I use ink jet, but treat it more like rice or decopage paper. I dont flip the image, but rather use the whole thing. I buy cheap printer paper, its thinner and is easy to work with, plus I dont have to do the extra step of peeling the paper off. If you hair spray your image, it's less likely to run the colors...just a thought. I love your videos and how you teach, thank you.

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

Yes great tips! You can also make the computer paper even a little bit thinner with this technique then decoupage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9uLxgmoluYE.html

Hi from Lapland 👋🏻😊 i would like to leave a comment regarding ink jet transfers: i do also like the rustic look, but keep in mind that, ink jet prints strongly fade in the sun!

Found ur videos while researching color graphic transfer onto wood. Your tutorials are very informative and I absolutely love the fact that u get down to business quickly. I have a question about the graphic transfer with an inkjet; I've watch several of your other videos on this subject and I noticed when you decoupaged ur camping pics and the graphic on the aged paper that you low baked then sprayed with hair spray to prevent bleeding (inkjet)...would this same process work with the reverse prints for total transfer (paper removal) or could it perhaps lessen the "bleeding" of the ink?

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

When doing the reverse technique with an inkjet printer it won’t make a difference if you put it in the oven and actually if you put hairspray on it it will prevent it from transferring as well

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

Hi there! Glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. When using a ink jet you just have to use very little water and rub off in small sections at a time. It is a bit trickier but it can be done. Here is another video that will help you out :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F17WmucEwqM.html

@ritaharker4466 3 года назад

I wonder if you put the Transfer medium on the wood, rather than on the inkjet picture would it smudge less? You wouldn’t be dragging your brush across the inkjet print merely laying it down on the prepared wood. Just a thought. Love your demos x

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

Yes you sure can. I have a tutorial I did with a colour photo on a ink jet that might help you out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F17WmucEwqM.html

I recently saw a video where you put a ink jet printed image in a oven at 200° for 10 min. to set the ink will this work for reverse transfer printed with ink jet, will it help the ink transfer better with no or less smudges

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried that but would certainly worth a try and it will probably help a lot with smudges. Let me know how it works it you try it! ❤️

if you use the back side of mailing lable sheets you can just peel instead of rubbing

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

Yes I use that technique quite often!! Works great

@marissamondora4054 3 года назад

do you put the mod podge on at the end too , to seal?

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

You can for sure ! I like to use a poly acrylic sealer

Wondering if you can hand draw something on copy paper with ink and transfer it to something the same way .

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

Thanks for watching ❤️ if you draw a picture then photocopy with a printer it will work that way. Otherwise no it won’t transfer pen ink

Hi can wanted to know when I make a copy of the words on the computer do I reverse it? Or leave it regular. I think it’s the only thing you didn’t mention . It looks on the video like it’s printed reverse

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

When doing this technique you have to reverse the text. :)

I have just used the chalk paint before with good results. Have you tried the tissue paper? From what i have seen and read you just decoupage it on?

@OurUpcycledLife 3 года назад

No I haven’t but on my to do list and see how it works ❤️

Thanks for explaining the two different effects using a laser jet printer and a ink jet printer. My question is when you print on the ink jet printer, what are your settings? I know the paper is standard copy paper but do you change the settings on your printer to gloss photo paper or do you leave on plain paper?

@OurUpcycledLife 2 года назад

I don't change any settings! Mine works fine on the standard. Every printer is different though so you might have to play around with it a bit
