you're going to want to use any kind ofadhesive-backed labels that are made for inkjet printers. in my case i happen to have these shippinglabels and i'll just peel them all off. the side that had those labels is the sideyou're going to print on, not the back side. so i'll put this into my printer the wayi normally would. a couple of things to consider when you arechoosing your image is to pick images that have bright colors in thembecause
they will lose some of that saturation whenyou put them on wood. secondly, your printer doesn't print white, so anything that's white in your picturewill be the color of the wood that you put it on. it's a good idea to pick out the lightestcolored wood you can find. and finally, if your image has any text onit, you will want to reverse that in your imaging editing software. when you are ready, just print it out theway you would anything else. it'll look really faded out like that butdon't worry, there's a lot of ink on there.
mainly, you don't want to touch it or itwill smear. you can take your time, because that ink doesn'treally dry on that transfer material. first i'm going to attach some tape to theback of this print so it won't move around when it's on thewood. now i can flip it over and i just want tobe careful here that once i press it down, i don't moreit around. i'm going to try to find the top and centerit as best i can. it dries almost instantly on the wood
but you probably want to seal it in with somesort of a clear coat. i'm going to use some spray lacquer. and this will make the colors pop out a littlebit more, too.
