Re: Inket Printer Transfers or What Works & What Don't
Hi Tim,
I am finally having success with Tom White's transfer solution, my Canon Mutilpass MP730 printer with Canon inks, and either 3M-CG3460 or Innovera IVR-65130 transparencies. Both transparency brands are textured. The important thing I learned was that the environmental conditions during drying of Tom's solution were critical. My shop temperature is rarely above 62 degrees and I have wood heat, which can create very dry conditions. I found that I had to blow softly but continuously on the solution to make sure it dried with an opaque grey surface. If it did not turn grey, the transfer failed. Once prepared correctly, the transfer worked very well, even to the point where I can see the grain of the textured transparency. I still find that I have to lightly coat the transferred image with a very light spray (I use Krylon Matt Finish 1311) to prevent it from rubbing off.
