- In this video I'm going to show you the Dos and Don'ts of photo image transfers to wood using the Quick Transfer Paper from RixCanDoIt.
You're going to see me do a complete FAIL and then follow that up with a completely successful and beautiful photo image transfer to painted wood surface.
There is NO RUBBING NEEDED!
This paper is called Quick Transfer Paper and is available from:

How can i purchase your transfer paper?
For some reason, I find the peeling off process with the image completely transfered so soothing to the nerves. I will sure try this! Tnx
Cool
Have really enjoyed watching your video, very detailed and informing! I have made an outdoor swing out of cypress, and I am going to only seal it with a good sealer. I am going to apply an 8x10 picture to a flat panel in the middle of the back. What would be your suggestion to accomplish this? Also, what paper do you use for the transfer? Thank you in advance for any help. Lamar
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The paper is my RixCanDoIt Quick Transfer paper. It is specially coated for an easy release and peel. I would recommend you do the transfer BEFORE you seal it. Then you can seal in the image as well when you seal the whole swing. The area to be transferred to should be 'smooth', flat and clean. Any pits, creases will not transfer to as those areas have no contact to the paper and image. Also, if your image has white in it those are non-printable areas of your image. If you don't want the cyprus pattern or color to fill in those white areas, you will want to use the white spray paint trick found in a couple of my videos. Have fun!
Hello! Thank you for the tutorial and tips! Your project turned out awesome. Can a transfer be done on just stained wood no paint? No sealer is needed to protect the transfer? Thank you in advance.
Hi Landerose. The transfer can be done on any surface that Gel Medium can adhere to. So if in question, test. Apply gel medium onto your surface, let dry, then see if it holds.
A sealer is not required to do the transfer, but I would recommend it if you want to PROTECT it. That would go for almost anything. If nothing is ever going to touch the image after transfer, then you don't necessarily need to seal it. But if you are going to be touching it, putting things on it, etc., I'd seal it.
@@imagetransferswithrix if I have a laser printer and the gel medium, and I am transferring to an acrylic painted wood surface, do I still need to use the transfer paper? Also- do I need to seal the paint before applying the transfer? If so, what do I seal it with? I’m trying my best to use the supplies I have…these are gifts I am making for my daughter, and I should have stopped about 5 gifts ago lol. I have seen others transfer with normal paper, but I’m a little confused. Help 🙏 Thank you for your tutorials. I’m a much better in person learner than virtual 😝.
@@joyelleforjesus I think you missed the point about using my transfer paper. Here's what you do. Use regular paper as you have seen in other videos. See if you like the removal process. See if you like the result after rubbing and wetting it over and over again. If you are okay with that, then you should stick with it. My paper was developed so that I would not have to be rubbing wet soggy paper off, making a mess, taking lots of time, and often rubbing off some of the image itself. It's a matter of preference. Most certainly try out the regular paper route. That way you will have experience. The paint does not need to be sealed before transfer and would likely make the transfer more difficult to hold. Seal afterwards is a good idea though.
@@imagetransferswithrix I understand this time. Thank you. I think I might try the paper.
I'm going to lay down a cheap transparency film sheet, so i need not worry about constantly cleaning the roller off.
That's a very good idea Aaron. I should do the same and probably will. Sometimes I lay a sheet of paper over it before rolling, but the clear sheet is a way better idea. Thanks for sharing!
Hi sir same thing happened with my pic to I was disappointed but watching your video I learn I used decapage not gel medium still happend
Hi Rix . I have set some gel medium transfers onto an acrylic painting , dried overnight and removed the first layer of transfer off. but now I still have 2nd coat fibres left and so how do i remove it all to get a chean clear image , and what should i use for a topcoat sheen .. please help . Maureen
Please email when you need assistance. I don't understand what you mean by "first layer" and "2nd coat fibres". Let me know exactly what you are referring to BY EMAIL as I may not catch it in the comments. Explain "first layer", and "fibres". Neither of those terms mean anything to me. You glue the image that is printed on the transfer paper onto your surface. You dry it (usually in 5 minutes with heat but you can leave overnight if you are not in a hurry). Then you moisten and peel off. The only thing that peels off is that which is not glued down. If you glue completely, only the 'backing' paper comes off leaving the image glued to the surface. There are no fibres. Are you using my paper or just regular printer paper and doing the wet and rub to death (messy) method that leaves all kinds of paper behind? The Quick Transfer Paper does not leave any paper fibers. If you peel off the paper and it tears and so some have not been peeled off, just moisten and peel off what's left. EMAIL ME with exact details so I can get my mind wrapped around what you are referring to. Thanks.
Can you do this with ink printer? I loved the video. It does makes it worth the time.
Not recommended. Use a Laser Printer for your prints, matte Gel Medium as your glue for absolute best results. Oh, and of course, the Quick Transfer Paper.
Could you do this with normal paper, laser printed on? Or do you have to use some sort of transfer paper?
You can transfer with normal paper. You'll have to wet and rub, wet and rub. It won't just peel off like with Quick Transfer Paper.
Instead of gel medium, have you tried using just acrylic paint with your transfer paper?
Guess what? I answer your question with a new video! th-cam.com/video/1FdXEjOsE8o/w-d-xo.html
Can this quick transfer paper be used to transfer onto a canvas??
Yes. You do need to make your surface as flat and smooth as possible. With canvas, that may require some prep like applying a layer of mod podge or glue or other such material and let dry to 'level' out the roughness of canvas. But I've done several canvas transfers with much success.
Do you need to seal it for durability? How does it hold up with time ?
Depends on whether you are just going to hang it up for display indoors or use it more harshly or outdoors. Then you'd want to seal it.
Will this method also work on metal surfaces
Yes. Anything that an adhesive will adhere to will allow the transfer to do the same.
Personally I would use something like 3M 77 or 90 adhesive spray to 'glue' the transfer paper down onto metal. Then once it has completely dried, usually within 15-30 minutes, just moisten and peel! The 3M adhesive is listed to adhere to almost anything.
Hello! What kind of color laser printer do you have?
HP Color Laserjet Pro M254DW
@@imagetransferswithrix Ty!
Fix I just bought Liquitex acrylic med matte gel. But now I have no ideal what to do with it since I don’t have a laser printer. I have a sublimation and reg printer. Help! I wanted to get your paper cause your transfers a amazing. But don’t have and can’t afford another printer.
Having a color laser printer is just awesome and more affordable than ever before. But I completely understand that circumstances are different for everyone. The alternative is to have someone else print for you, like going to Staples or Office Depot/Max or other similar stores.
@@imagetransferswithrix you’re so informative, and I could really use extra help. Too many options for my add brain. 😂 I have acrylic painted wood slices- not sealed. I want to transfer laser printed images to it. I have gel medium. I have polycrylic. I have water slide paper. I don’t have transfer paper. What would my options be? Much appreciated
@@joyelleforjesus You have several options depending on what you want the end product to be. If you want to put decals on it, then slide paper. But I personally don't like that look. So test it out and see if it is something you are okay with. My preferred approach is to transfer. Acrylic painted wood slices can be transferred to. Because they are painted, this simply means that they won't be porous and so drying time is a little longer (few minutes with heat gun or hair dryer). Now if you don't use my transfer paper, the other options are to use regular paper. But with a painted surface, you must be careful that you don't rub off the paint and image because you'll have to wet and rub, wet and rub for complete removal of the paper. It's a mess. That's why transfer paper is the better route. It is moistened and peel. Tada!
@@imagetransferswithrix thank you so much
What is the gsm paper for transfer image ?
Not sure what you are asking. Are you talking about using the RixCanDoIt Quick Transfer paper? Are you asking about transferring with just any regular printer paper?
@@imagetransferswithrixThank you for replying... just a normal paper... what is the paper weight you use ?
@@fbasen57 This video features using special paper, not 'normal' paper. It's Quick Transfer paper and usually about 20# cotton-bond.
@@RixCanDoit oh I see... I don't think in our small country such as Brunei, have that kind of paper... we have normal paper for printing in laser jet or ink jet etc ie 120gsm...
@@fbasen57 No, you don't have it there because I make it in my home. It's a specially coated paper that peels off like butter. You can use your normal paper, but you will have to wet and rub it a lot, make a mess, and potentially rub off some of your image if you are not careful. But that's how many do it.
get a bigger brush next time
Not the answer...
Can you use any quick transfer paper??
In this video I'm demonstrating what the RixCanDoIt Quick Transfer Paper can do. I am not aware of any others. Do you know of any others? The reason I developed this paper is that I did not find ANY paper that does transfers like this paper, not since TPPT was pulled off the market several years ago.
@@imagetransferswithrix can you use Minwax Polycrylic instead of the gel? I have tried mod modge, freezer paper, label paper and what frustrating processes they are!! I’ve rubbed half of my pictures right off the board, I really want to try your paper… I am nervous because I have purchased and tried so many things and they all failed 😞 I will try to order your paper today!!!! I would appreciate any suggestions you may have to give!!! Thanks again!!
@@jeangrandy8672 I don't recommend using Polycrylic. While Mod Podge works, I find Gel Medium produces the best results. This paper is a no rub process. 🙂
@@RixCanDoit oh I have done the rub process with Mod Podge and the Polycrylic and they are a pain in the ars!!!!! I haven’t been successful with any of them!! Very discouraging!!
Damn waste of time.
Guess you ran out of gun cleaning videos to watch?
Spectacular, bravo just bravo...🤦♂️
To much talk
You Americans are great but you guys talk a real lot.
LOL! Thanks? I would say 'great' is a bit of a stretch. We are certainly a 'unique' bunch to say the least. As for talking too much. Well, that's on me. ;-)
