Eric, I wish I found you before I did the mod podge stuff. Lord have mercy! Now I need to watch more of your videos about the freezer paper. I bought some from Walmart but now I don’t think it’s the right one! Thank you so much for your explanations! You rock!
Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. Great to hear you're finding our videos helpful. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you, eric@makeawoodsign.com
Thank you Eric. Try applying a little bit of fabric glue or any other glue (anything sticky that dries off later) on the wood and then put either of the papers. I'm sure you'll love the results. Overall very informative video. Thanks again. :)
Just got an Epson ET-2720 ink jet printer. It has refillable tanks! Tried a transfer but had to watch to see how you do it. I see how you press with the hard plastic, I'll do that, thank you Eric!
Freezer paper for the win!! Just ordered 3 bits and a base plate for my dewalt dw618! Just waiting on them to show up! Its been cold here in Michigan but I will still be carving!
My regards from Dom Rep, your Chanel is great, I just found it...by the way, I actually could see through the freezer paper, in the correct angle , it ´s possible.
Thanks again for a great video. I have been using sheet protectors with some success, but it has a tendency to smear for me. (Maybe old shaky hands) Now I will try the freezer paper.
I'm 2 hours east of Atl, it has rained here for last 6 days... I told Vicki before yall left it was predicted to rain alot this week...up here, weve had 5-6 inches so far...Supposed to be nice tommorrow (Sunday) and rest of week, in the 60's... Thanks for answering.@@oldave100
With the transparency film you really need a gel medium for it to work well, and I’m unsure of whether I would personally put silicone spray through my printer!
Dawn, Thank you for watching and the feedback. This video was a few years ago. Since I started using label backer instead of freezer paper I really haven't used silicone spray.
Dave, I used Appollo Transparency Film for all printers and a HP Envy 7640 ink jet printer. I took the transparency right out of the box and placed it in the printer. I printed a name on it and took it directly to the wood and transfer it to the pine board with out a problem. Then washed it off let it dry and used it again. No sanding needed. I would send a picture but it is not allowing me to paste.
I watched this transfer video yesterday and need a question answered. I want to transfer a picture to a pool cue, do I need to apply a sanding sealer to the sanded wood before transferring the picture?
Hey Dave have you tried a plain copier print and then use an old iron to transfer the image on to wood I've been doing that for years and found that it works well and you can use the copy a few times before discarding it it also helps if you set the copier on the dark side to get the most out of it
I have tried that but for whatever reason could not get it to work very well for me. Glad you have a process that's working for you. Thank you for watching and the feedback.
Ugh! I’ve used C. Jenkins freezer paper numerous times successfully in the past, but the new batches of freezer paper from them (8/2023) is horrible! It does not maintain the image. It almost immediately becomes a blurry mess, long before you have time to transfer the image to a piece of wood. Do you have an alternative to combat this?
If you're having trouble with using the freezer paper in your printer because it gets jammed try using a spray basting adhesive that you can get at any craft store or walmart. Spray a regular piece of 8 and a half by 11 paper with the basting adhesive and then attach your freezer paper so that the glossy side is up. Then set your printer to a thick paper setting
I have to admit as always good information I've never tried either method however I do use rapid resize her and it works well for me however I just make a copy and large it to whatever size I need glue it to the board and carve through paper
Hello. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. And my question is if after transfer with freezer paper can I use a sealer water base?. And the other question is how long does the image last on the wood?. Using freezer paper.
I bet a felt squeegee would do good. It’s really good at burnishing on ruff surfaces. Gets in all the cracks. Kinda like the tennis ball method. I get my felt squeegee from USCutter.
Eric, I like the freezer paper also, except if you are trying to carve something with letters, they come in reverse. My ink jet printer does not have the capability of reversing the letters back the right way. Any suggestions?
When you print it out your computer may have an option to reverse the print. Another option (the hard way) is to print it out on clear film first. Then make your final print off of that when it's turned over so it will come out reversed.
If you're using Word for your letters there is a way to reverse the letters within a text box within formatting... Search for "mirror" in Word help... That's how I found it as my Canon inkjet printer doesn't have a mirror print option.
It is a type of paper that I put in my inkjet printer for transferring images. Here's a link to the product I use with a description. www.amazon.com/dp/B000YZCUSQ?ref=exp_makeawoodsign_dp_vv_d If you have anymore questions please email me eric@makeawoodsign.com
You have lots of time when you print on freezer paper. I try to do my transfer within an hour. I tried heat and didn't like the results. I like the rubbing method better.
Have you tried using label paper. I peel the labels off and print with an inkjet on the shiny side. Works well seen it on UA-cam as well. Great video Dave thanks.
im having an issue with this process. the ink comes out really blochy on the paper. and im using the same brand freezer paper. do you have any suggestions?
Hi David, Have you tried the transfer even though it looks blotchy? mine always looks blotchy when I print it out, but it transfers well. If you want email me directly we can go into more detail, eric@makeawoodsign.com
I always answer these comments, but good idea to email me directly, not thru the website. eric@makeawoodsign.com. So not sure why your image isn't transfering well. Here are a couple thoughts just to make sure I'm trying to cover everything. Make sure you're copying on the correct side. That may sound obvious but I've seen it before. Next make sure your board is really smooth. That was a mistake I made early on and got crappy transfers. Now I sand down to 220. Try and use something with a solid edge, like I use my acrylic router bit depth gauge. Try and make the transfer within a short time after you make it. Don;t give it time to day. Hope this helps.
HI DAVE, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BUT NEED HELP AS I PRINT A LOT OF SUBLIMATION ITEMS BUT NOW WISH TO TRY PRINTING IMAGES ON WOOD AND NEED TO KNOW HOW LONG AFTER PRINTING THE IMAGE DO HAVE TO PUT ON THE WOOD BEFORE THE INK STARTS TO DRY AND COULD I PUT COLOR IMAGES ON WOOD USING THE SAME PROCESS AND WHEN DRY CAN I VARNISH IT. THANK.
Hi Lyla, check out my video #230. I show a transfer I did that is color. However don't use the paper I did on this the 230 video. Since then I have found freezer paper that is made specially for inkjet printers. My video LTS 6/30/18, About 15:30 min in I show the product I'm talking about. Yes you can definitely spray a clear on the transfer. If I can answer any other questions for you you can email me directly and I'm happy to help, eric@makeawoodsign.com
Hi Gang, the transparency film I've used in the past has always had a smooth side and a mat or slightly frosted side to encourage toner or ink binding. It's usually easy to detect which side is which when you view the surface with reflected light. I've not tried transfers with this stuff but it might be worthwhile to see if you really need to do the messy sanding step.
Get around this issue by attaching the freezer paper to a piece of regular printer paper using repositionable glue stick or double side tape near the edge of the paper. Then it will feed through the printer easier. Good luck!
I havent tried this but I think your transparency paper transfer is worse because of your sanding. You want a smooth surface for the ink to transfer. What you doing is what directions on any paint product says in its instructions. "..scuff glossy surfaces for best adhesion". Thats so the paint sticks better. So, therefore more of your ink is sticking to the paper you sanded, and not transfering. I personally dont like silicone in any areas of paints. Some people want to put clears on top of print transfers, and in the paint world, silicone is one contaminant that causes "fisheyes" and lifting. The other reason of poor transfer is 160 grit is too course. When you would paint a car, they sand the primer with 600 to 800 grit. Try a smoother grit, and without the silicone. Im thinking that you will find out it works better. (Just my thoughts. I have airbrushed art in the past and topcoated numerous painted projects with clears. So I do have experience with what Im saying here)
Hello dave. Great video.. can u do a comparison for inkjet of ur favorite freezer paper vs paper from a sheet of address labels .. thanks guys stay safe. Chad w
That's a lot of work on that transparency, Eric to get to the transferring process :-( And as usual, very informational, and you're straight up with your information. I love your videos. Went through and saw your video on transferring with lacquer thinner for laser printers. Then I did a comparison of the two (2). I came to the conclusion that using the lacquer thinner, is a good stand by; at least to do sign shapes or outlines. For my detailed patterns, though, I'll have to stick to my wintergreen oil method. The image is much sharper and deeper color. Wish I could show you the picture of the two side-by-side. (I also like my laser over inkjet, because the toner lasts a lot longer than ink jet. Especially with all the patterns I make.) I, like so many, would love to sit with you and compare notes on different things.
@@oldave100 I have a video I was asked to do by my friends at routerforums.com on using wintergreen oil. If I can find the link, I'll share with you in an email, if that's okay.
Very Interesting, but be careful of the silicon spray on the paper as the silicon transferred to the rollers inside the printer that feed the paper, and caused quite a lot of trouble getting ithe rollers cleaned and making the printer work properly again. The silicon was not really necessay.
Sorry for the issues you had. You're correct, it's not necessary but it does work better. If you notice I say wipe off the excess silicone spray. I don't know if that the issue you had. I've run probably more than 100 sheets thru both my printers with no problems. Thank you for letting me know, I will make that clear on future videos.
also if you just print on the smooth side of the plastic not the ruff up side more ink would have came off, i do it all the time to transfer images to wood to make signs.
Good. You sounded like u had raspy lung hack. Just thought I would ask. All that wood dust. Stay healthy my friend. For just a flick of a moment in time I thought I was special because I got a red heart..... Then I seen that everyone else got one to.

Actually works good. Thank you Rocky
Great video! I am a newbie and I appreciate you. Doesn't the freezer paper and transparency film get stuck in printer?
We use the freezer paper mainly and we haven't had that issue
Would the colors pop out more if you were to add a clear coating on the wood then again after the ink transfer?
I haven't tried that, maybe...
Nice video you sold me, as for me it's the freezer paper.
Definitely the way to go
Thanks Eric. That's good enough for me. Getting ready to try this and will definitely use freezer paper.
Hope it works for you, Thank you....

@@oldave100 the transparency film has a side that accepts ink without sandind, it aleady feels different than the smooth side.
Hi! Can I ask what specific Apollo Transparency Film you used? The Quick Dry one? The Plain Paper one?
I watched this transfer video yesterday and need a question answered. I want to transfer a picture to a pool cue, do I need to apply a sanding sealer to the sanded wood before transferring the picture?
Sorry I'm late answering this. Thank you for emailing me, with your questions. I'm sure I have answered your questions through email.

Hi How much time we have to transfer the picture to object? this is have to be transfer right away??
No you don't to do it right away. I would do it within an hour or so...

Spray a regular piece of 8 and a half by 11 paper with the basting adhesive and then attach your freezer paper so that the glossy side is up. Then set your printer to a thick paper setting
That's a great idea. But now they make freezer paper that is cut to printer size. This is a pretty old video

That's terrific if you like it. Thank you for the feedback Charlie
Can you transfer the transparency paper into glass?
I haven't done this process on glass but I'm sure you could.
K thanx
You're very welcome Norma
It didn’t work out I did something wrong
Sorry to hear that. It could be that the ink wouldn't ever dry on the glass.
Surely a random orbit sander would work well and be much easier to do ?
This video was a while back. I have been using a combination of a disk sander and a random orbital since last year.

I know it does but I can never seem to figure that out.
The printer has to be set on Best, Other Glossy ink jet paper to get more ink so it will transfer better.

Thank you for the info. Yes I have tried that and it does work.
also if you just print on the smooth side of the plastic not the ruff up side more ink would have came off, i do it all the time to transfer images to wood to make signs.
