Ink Jet Transfer Paper
Images printed on this heavy duty, double-sided waxed paper can be transferred onto any absorbent material such as paper, linoleum or wood.
It will not work on hard or slick surfaces, such as Gomuban, Resingrave or other plastic surfaces. The ink stays tacky and smears because it cannot be absorbed into the material.
Scan an image into your computer and print it on a sheet of Ink Jet Transfer Paper. The ink stays wet on the paper for several minutes, giving you plenty of working time. (The printer has to be an ink jet because an ink jet printer puts down ink that will stay wet on the transfer paper. Laser jet printers use heat to set the ink so the ink would just dry immediately.)
Place printed side down on the block. Tape the Ink Jet Transfer Paper in place, put a piece of newsprint, tracing paper or ategami on top and rub with a baren, brayer or wooden spoon. The image will immediately transfer completely and cleanly to the block.
Wipe gently and reuse both sides several times.
