I think this is the first time I've seen a method that genuinely seems like it's going to make sense and actually work consistently. I've been frustrated with glue transfers and near everything else just not working.
What's cool about this is that you technically only need very few sticker paper back sheet since you can easily wash the remaining ink after applying the design
For anyone who doesn't own an inkjet, I used the backing paper of cricut sticker vinyl and I printed my design using a laser printer. The design will come out looking grey, but the transfer works really nice. Overall, depending on the type of paper you use, this method CAN work using a laser printer. :)
Vinyl transfer paper found at the dollar store has the same backing. You can get an entire roll for around five bucks if you have trouble finding it. :) 🍚 🥕 ☮️ ❤️
Wow! I’m so going to try this! I was dreading using the tracing paper method for some of the more complicated blocks I’ve been wanting to carve. Thanks for the quick, clear tutorial!
Wow! I’ve read books (well, at least 1 book and sections of others and lots of online content…so much I almost didn’t click on this!) on Image Transfers and I’ve never come across or thought of this method before! While it’s a great idea for linoblocks, I can’t wait to test it on other things! I see that even on a really smooth, non-porous surface it’s not a perfect transfer, but that’s part of Image Transfers as part of Mixed Media art. If one wants “perfect” reproduction, one can use collage or other replication methods. Have you tried printing onto to other surfaces?)? I wonder what would happen with color inks? I’m going to have to find a good source for buying just backing paper, as I collect stickers and washi and PET tape (the latter comes with great, crystal clear backing paper) and am always using my leftovers for that!🤦🏻♀️. Another source of backing paper is from some pharmacies like CVS who give you the whole sheet the had the sticker they put on the bottle (although I stopped using them for Rx years ago).This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve watched and I liked and I just subscribed! 🥰
Hi I've just seen your channel and have subscribed. Love your work. You mentioned that there might be a way to transfer the image using a laser printer somehow and I wondered if you could let me know how please as I have just replaced my inkjet with a laser printer! :((
Instead of using sticker label backing sheets, could you possibly just trim a sheet of parchment paper to size and print on that to the same effect? Thank you for the tutorial, easily one of the more straightforward ones ive found.
Have you ever tried freezer paper for printing your design? I’m thinking that the plastic side might work as the shiny side of the label paper works. But maybe freezer paper is too shiny.
hi, thank you so much for this tutorial!! i tried this on essdee softcut and it worked for the most part, but the ink smudges when i touch it, even after letting it dry overnight. i didn't stain it beforehand- do you think staining would help the ink adhere to the surface better? i will try staining next time and see
This is transferring brilliantly, but my ink isn't drying on the lino. Any tips? I've used a hair dryer and just waited ages, but doesn't seem to dry...
no it doesn't work with laserprinter the same way. for this you need a fluid to bind the toner. it isn't wet as an inkjet ink. there are a few different options of fluid. search yt for "transfer laserprint to lino".

I feel you! I struggled a lot and wasted so many supplies before trying this method. I hope it works for you! Let me know how it goes ❤️

I was just wondering if that would work! If I try it I'll report back.
@@marirosebernal1789 Did you already try?
Wow, I was just about to buy a laser printer and was a bit confused when you said this method only works for ink jet. Ink jet = wet ink! Genius :)
You are an absolute genius. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this. Thank you so much.
Happy to help! I hope it works for you! ❤️

I have an LED printer which uses toner, which I believe is the same toner as laser printers. I will try it, thank you.

You are a natural teacher. Thanks a lot! Everything is so clear and thoughtfully explained
I used to do that on a wood, it can produce really awesome image
Finally!!! I now know how to transfer the drawing!
Can wax paper/lunch wrap paper be used for this?
Oooo lovely!!!! I’ve got to show this to my print profs!!!
Great idea!!
This great! Have you got any tips for the picture still smudging during carving after a few days? Apply matt medium on top? Have you tried anything?
Thank you !! I’ve been looking and trying to come up with something like this for a while ❤

Hello, did you try the other ideas you mentioned? So curious
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!
You're so welcome! ❤️
I cannot wait to learn this!
This is awesome, it has worked for me. Thanks so much for the info ❤❤

Can i use the back of a sticker paper?
How long do you keep the sheet pressed to the lino for? And do you use any transfer medium at all?
Love this, how would you use this method for larger than A4 prints??

Cool! Is this bad for the printer in any way?
You are a genius

Gelly blush?
Do you have a link for the paper you think would work?
Wow 😮 Nice trick!
Oh god this is genius
I hope it helps you out!
I just used this technique and it worked so well!! Thanks so much for the video
so for this method the drawing has to be digitized? what if we have handrawn designs
So if I don't have any backing paper from labels, regular wax paper works also?
Same question. Digging through kitchen drawers.
Any updates?
How do you spell "jelly goo wash" that you use to stain the linoleum? 😅 i didnt find it with a google search.
jelly gouache
Does anyone know the alt method for laser printer mentioned in this video?
Wart's this board name pl
Do you know if this works with a laser jet printer?
no it doesn't work with laserprinter the same way. for this you need a fluid to bind the toner. it isn't wet as an inkjet ink. there are a few different options of fluid. search yt for "transfer laserprint to lino".

Hi, may you recommend a transfer technic without a printer and minimalistic equipment? 👩🏻🚐🥦💪
