Hi y'all! I have come across a problem with the transfer project and I wanted to pass them along you guys in case you are having similar issues.
1. If your printer uses instant-dry ink no amount of oil will transfer the image to another surface. Trust me, I tried the leftover essential oils I had around the house (wintergreen, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender). The only option that I found worked was a transfer method using an acrylic gel medium, but of course that will make the paper warp.
2. If you are on a budget, printing your image on wax paper works like a charm. I simply a printer with regular ink. Here's a link on this technique (I know the blogger transfers his image to wood, but I managed to transfer onto paper just fine): Wax Paper Image Transfer.
