You absolutely can use prints from an inkjet printer. Just spray lightly with hairspray first, let dry. Spray again, let dry, then proceed! I use my inkjet all the time with great success. I also suggest you put a thick cardboard or thin cutting board in between the canvas bag to keep the sticky and water from penetrating the inside second layer.
I've had no luck with my ink jet printer yet, but I've baked and sprayed mine after that with hairspray and tried each independently. I'm SO frustrated; I bought a new printer to use for this purpose, and so far it's been a waste of ink, money, and time. On what surfaces have you had luck with an ink jet? I'm ready to take mine back.
Hi Lisa! Inkjet printers use water-based inks so using liquid products on top will cause it to smear. Here in our craft studio we use dry toner laser prints.
Very beautiful picture, you are transforming, I love it. My son is very crafty, he took pictures of their kids Then he ended with a family picture of them, around a real nice family saying, I had a fit over them, he told me it was easy, then he sent me directions of how it was done, then I brought it to my Sr Center, had a class and, everyone loved it and had beautiful pictures to take home. Love Mod Podge, wish I could do as good with napkins, they are beautiful.👍👍💕💕😃
Much cheaper! You can just copy/print your photo’s at home and then proceed. You don’t have to buy transfer paper, which can be expensive if you are doing a lot of them.
have you used an original print for transferring? I am finally getting around to do this and was wondering I have mod podge and also have the photo transfer tool by mod podge
can this image transfer work on black leather ??? either the clear transfer medium and the heat tool, if used colored pic would it transfer on to black leather
Merci pour ce partage! C’est tellement beau! J’utilise souvent la MOD PODGE pour mes transferts. Indispensable pour de magnifiques créations Bonne journée 😘
I am using transparent matte finish mod podge for image transfer on wood but after removing the paper couple of times it still has white all over the image. How do I get it off? I am not getting picture clear on my wood coaster.
Just wondering with the new heat tool that came out this year that is great for leather, can you use inkjet to transfer an image to leather? Is there a step we can do if we don't have a laser printer?
I love all these products! Which stores will be carrying these products? Walmart? Michael's? JoAnn's? Thank you for showing us how to use these things.
We have them on our website, and the transfer tool is already at Michaels! You should be able to find the transfer mediums at most craft stores as well.
Thanks for the video. What do you mean by if we applied water first time and rubbed it and still the photo not clear to repeat the process again? Do you mean applying water again and rub or should we add the transfer again and how many hrs should I leave it to dry again? Thanks
I want to know how to create my own transfer. What mediums could I use and best way to get on my project. Like if I wantef to do some painted flowers I wanted to put on a dresser. Or some lettering on a dresser.
I've been having a difficult time finding napkins with print that I like on them I was at hobby lobby yesterday and they had a whole section of 8 and 1/2 x 11 and 12x by 12 pieces of paper with print on them could I use that with the mod podge putting it on t-shirts or tote bags or any kind of fabric... Would I be able to do this technique on t-shirt
Can the heat transfer tool be used with any Mod Podge or Liquidex? I have Mod Podge Matte medium and gloss. Does it work on canvas and wood? I have a hotfix applicator used for hotfix rhinestones. Would that work for the heat transfer? Do you need mod podge when putting it on wood and canvas?
The ink doesn't bleed, it's permanent! I have multiple shoes done this way and I wash them all the time. I did use clear sealer on them just to be safe tho.
I need help. I’ve tried this multiple times on canvas with inkjet. It seems to work ok but either the canvas image rips, the ink smudges or blurs but after peeing off a layer or two the image is crystal clear and fine but once drying out and spraying with water to repeat the process it goes all blurry and the colours smudge. If I don’t repeat the process the image looks amazing but the whole image is white and hazy with a film over it. Any help much appreciated
RIght?? I really wish they stated that closer to the beginning of the video and/or in the description. I was 5 minutes in and then realized this process won't work for what I'm doing. :(
Here is a great blog post on transfer and talks about glass as well. The mediums can be used on glass. plaidonline.com/plaid-palette/january-2021/new-year-new-skills-photo-transfer
In most cases, yes. As long as the painted surface can withstand water for the liquid methods or heat for the transfer tool. We recommend testing on a scrap piece to be sure.
If you do the it on a painted surface I would do it over a multi-surface paint that has fully cured either 28 days or in the oven. That way it can stand the heat and the water. Also make sure your paint has no air bubbles or the heat can make them expand.
This was a good well explaned information video but it seems like a lot of work and waiting. I'll just stick with my cricut easy press lol🤣 But I recommend this video to others if they do not have a easy press.
It is hard to see the products.in this video. Can you show them up close? Also the inset picture is too busy. A John’s voice in the background would have been just fine.
Hi Kerry! You can see detailed info at plaidonline.com/new on each product. As this is a recording of the livestream they won't have seen this question.
Then u needed to apply wager and sponge it again. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times before the image is clear. Especially if you used an excess amount of the medium
is there any reason why a hot clothing iron would not accomplish the same as the heat tool? i mean, i realize you are selling a product, but it seems like an iron would work, too.

@@lisablack2567 I have used inkjet prints on glass, ceramic coasters and wood. Mostly black and white but have done some color too.
Hi Lisa! Inkjet printers use water-based inks so using liquid products on top will cause it to smear. Here in our craft studio we use dry toner laser prints.
I removed too much paper. can I start over or put 2nd photo over top?
@@plaidcraftswould it work with sublimation printer?
Honestly, it works just fine with inkjet printer too. I did it yesterday, absolutely spotless!
Thank you for saying this! I was like oh crap I don’t have an inkjet!
I keep trying it with inkjet and the paper and image keeps coming off an the ink keeps spreading any help??
@@crazyforyoumusicalfan hey. I recommend to dry the printed sheet for atleast 48 hours before applying the mod podge. Hope that helps!
@@asmajavid1991 Ah ok. i'll try that thanks.
Can I use a regular paper printed to make it on fabric? Thank you for the explanation

Can you please explain what pros/cons there are to using this for photo transfer vs iron on transfer paper?
Much cheaper! You can just copy/print your photo’s at home and then proceed. You don’t have to buy transfer paper, which can be expensive if you are doing a lot of them.
@@TrimansWife On an ink jet? Without smearing the ink?
Can you apply to the picture and the canvas ?
Omg I've been doing this on my nails for nail art for years!!!!
Are you serious? I've never heard of that. 👍
How do u do ur nails please?
so can you use a ink jet printer with the heat tool as well??
That heat transfer tool is awesome! Can you use it to transfer an image onto a cured resin piece?
I'm assuming not because resin melts especially under high heat.
@@syzygy4365 ?? Epoxy resin melts?
Could you please let me know what make and model Laser Printer did you use to print that beautiful picture? 💚
Which product do you use to transfer an image on glass for it to be transparent..and have light shine through it please?
You can also use Matt Mod Podge to transfer a photo and peel the paper off and it leaves the ink behind the whole photo is gorgeous
have you used an original print for transferring? I am finally getting around to do this and was wondering I have mod podge and also have the photo transfer tool by mod podge
No I copied my photo on a ink jet pro and printed it out on regular printer paper.
Just keep in mind that inkjet printers used a water based ink that will smear. Laser printers work best!
Would you use a product to give the final picture more of a gloss verses a flat finish?
Can I use an image from a book?
Isn't the heat tool just an iron in stick form?
Hi! Jon and Emma very grate and useful work and info. thanks for it. please make more such video
Wow !
What a wonderful tutorial!
Thank you
can this image transfer work on black leather ??? either the clear transfer medium and the heat tool, if used colored pic would it transfer on to black leather
How do I remove any excess mod podge photo transfer medium from fabric?
I can't get this stuff to work right. It always wrinkles my image or starts to peel off when I am trying to rub off the paper after the drying period
What's the best way to apply and which product to apply pictures for plastic cups and for smooth finish ?
Merci pour ce partage! C’est tellement beau!
J’utilise souvent la MOD PODGE pour mes transferts. Indispensable pour de magnifiques créations
Bonne journée 😘
So do I want the clear transfer product for glass? Thanks Mary
will this method work on a porcelain plate
Thankyou. These products are awesome.👍🏼
and what about -laser image transfer to air dry clay.....it work ?
I am using transparent matte finish mod podge for image transfer on wood but after removing the paper couple of times it still has white all over the image. How do I get it off? I am not getting picture clear on my wood coaster.
Just wondering with the new heat tool that came out this year that is great for leather, can you use inkjet to transfer an image to leather? Is there a step we can do if we don't have a laser printer?
It needs to be a laser printer. Inkjet prints are water-based and don't transfer well.
Obligatory laser printing, the ink needs to be burned onto the paper.
@@OnasTarot you mean married?

#IworkatMichaels and I saw this on the shelf the other day. So glad y'all put up a video about it! Now I can explain to customers :)
A jak odbijasz kota na drewnie to jakie Mod Podge nakładasz ? Nie widać butelki. I czy nie trzeba posmarować też drewna czy tylko papier ?
What is a safe idea to transfer images onto fresh flowers
Do you need to put mod podge on image when using burning tool?
What is the difference between mod podge Matt and mod podge transfer medium? I’ve seen people use the modge podge Matt to do the same thing??
Thanks for the video. What do you mean by if we applied water first time and rubbed it and still the photo not clear to repeat the process again? Do you mean applying water again and rub or should we add the transfer again and how many hrs should I leave it to dry again? Thanks
to repeat the water and rubbing step. You can repeat that once dry.
I want to know how to create my own transfer. What mediums could I use and best way to get on my project. Like if I wantef to do some painted flowers I wanted to put on a dresser. Or some lettering on a dresser.
So what's next after how do you seal image
Would the heat tool workwith sublimation printed images?
What does dry toner look like
I've been having a difficult time finding napkins with print that I like on them I was at hobby lobby yesterday and they had a whole section of 8 and 1/2 x 11 and 12x by 12 pieces of paper with print on them could I use that with the mod podge putting it on t-shirts or tote bags or any kind of fabric...

Hi
Can I apply paint to my wood first before transferring? If so what type, acrylic , satin, etc...
Look further down in comments. The question was answered.
Am from Jamaica I love art work but I find very difficult to get the materials
Can the heat transfer tool be used with any Mod Podge or Liquidex? I have Mod Podge Matte medium and gloss. Does it work on canvas and wood? I have a hotfix applicator used for hotfix rhinestones. Would that work for the heat transfer? Do you need mod podge when putting it on wood and canvas?
Can you use it on bobo and latex balloons ?
Good day sir,
For this project can cartridges in printer.
Please advise.
Will it work on a black pants
Can I iron on the photo on photo transfer paper and then spray mod podge and let it seal it ?
My photo to canvas did not work. The picture faded ALOT and even ripped at one point. Shd I have printed my picture darker??
What photo paper do I use?
Will the image come off in the washing machine?
Do you seal any of the transfered images when dry
Can you please tell me what kind of paper for photo when transferring to wood
Just regular copy paper works perfectly.
@@plaidcrafts thank you much I was thinking photo paper
@@plaidcrafts that's handy
Which will work for transferring to puzzles?
What kind of printer do you need? And paper
the dry toner prints they mention in the video are from laser printers.
regular copy paper works fine.
If used on a canvas does it have to be sealed ?
So once you're done with the transfer you don't need to seal it
Can u transfer image to concrete blocks?
With the heat tool. With the transferred image, is the finished product waterproof? Or will the ink bleed if wet?
The ink doesn't bleed, it's permanent! I have multiple shoes done this way and I wash them all the time. I did use clear sealer on them just to be safe tho.
Do you put it on thin?

Inkjets use a water-based ink that will smear when wet. You need to use a dry toner laser printer.
So it’s just like sublimation with more steps?
No
Can you use a heat tool on wood
Excellent thank you. Can you transfer a magazine image?
Got same beautiful Mountain pictures 🌟✨ You guys just give me idea
Can you use a printed photo???
Does this method work on mugs?
Can i rip out paper from a coloring book?
You could have shown us the end result on the 2nd one. I mean that is why we are here... Lol. Listen all that and didn't even get to see it.
Hello
Which one would be the best method to do on a canvas????
Transfer, Clear or the Heat transfer??
Depends on the style of image you want, but I think that the Photo Transfer or Clear Image Transfer would be best on canvas.
purchased the heat transfer tool. so far not working for me. will keep trying.
Make sure you are using laser printed image
@@plaidcrafts ... I am.
So you need a laser printer to use this product? If so, that is a bummer.
Yes. inkjets use water based inks so they smear.
RIght?? I really wish they stated that closer to the beginning of the video and/or in the description. I was 5 minutes in and then realized this process won't work for what I'm doing. :(
@@PunkassSpyke I found some videos that show you how to do it using an inkjet printer
I'm new at this the same with glass?
Here is a great blog post on transfer and talks about glass as well. The mediums can be used on glass. plaidonline.com/plaid-palette/january-2021/new-year-new-skills-photo-transfer
What heating machine u are using give detail
Mod Podge Heat Transfer tool
But white would not be printed on, hot would the photo medium add white to a transfer?
It's because the paper is white. Printers don't need to color the white that's why you transfer into another white surface.
Can you photo transfer onto a painted surface. Love all mod podge products. 🌻
In most cases, yes. As long as the painted surface can withstand water for the liquid methods or heat for the transfer tool. We recommend testing on a scrap piece to be sure.
If you do the it on a painted surface I would do it over a multi-surface paint that has fully cured either 28 days or in the oven. That way it can stand the heat and the water. Also make sure your paint has no air bubbles or the heat can make them expand.
What the difference between a dry toner or a regular printer
Dry toner is a laser printer. A regular printer is often an inkjet, and the water-based ink will smear.
Can you use this method to transfer onto resin for a tumbler?
We haven't tested this on resin ourselves. I will mention this to the content team and see if they can test it.
This was a good well explaned information video but it seems like a lot of work and waiting. I'll just stick with my cricut easy press lol🤣 But I recommend this video to others if they do not have a easy press.
Hi I have so many stuffed animals that I want to transfer my logo on them. Can I use the mod podge tool to transfer them on?
You may want to test this first, but I don't think these techniques will work on a furry texture.
@@plaidcrafts Thank you!
Tried mod podge in wood but when we saw wood after removing paper the picture is turning white why
Photo Transfer leaves the white, Clear Image Transfer does not
Inkjet or laser is better
Laser printer.
LOVE JOHN'S T-SHIRT!! Can I buy one??🙏😁
Can I use this medium to transfer font to wood as well ?
yes, as long as you are using a laser printed copy. And make sure you reverse the image so your letters don't come out backwards.
So all of these transfer they have to leave it 24hrs
can you use this method on leather?
yes
Can you tell me name of heating machine
Mod Podge Heat Transfer Tool
Sad this won't work on fiberglass and plastics.
I could be missing something, but why not just use an iron rather than the tool???
who is the furtographer?
It is hard to see the products.in this video. Can you show them up close? Also the inset picture is too busy. A John’s voice in the background would have been just fine.
Hi Kerry! You can see detailed info at plaidonline.com/new on each product. As this is a recording of the livestream they won't have seen this question.
Why can't it be done with an inkjet printer?
Inkjet printers use water based ink that will smear. Laser printers use dry toner.
I tried this but the image has a film on it. I'm very disappointed 😞
Then u needed to apply wager and sponge it again. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times before the image is clear. Especially if you used an excess amount of the medium
Picture I printed in white simple paper and print is done 8n printing center
Way too many ads
I really don't like the thickness of this, too hard to work with. It doesn't spread very easy at all.
Can I use just regular Mod Podge
I came here because I just bought a bottle and the stuff is thick, almost like toothpaste. I was wondering if I got a bad bottle…
@@cakebaker1967 I had same issue and my sister asked me if I got a bad bottle.
Can you use a tooth brush to rub off the paper?
We like to use a sponge, but a soft toothbrush may work
Can you transfer to painted wood using the photo medium. I’m trying to make a wooden puzzle with a Publisher print out
Oh, never mind I have ink jet printer. Another tutorial, with different product, said to use ink jet
Genial 😀
Can you put another clear coat on the finished photo on the fabric, wood or metal?
Absolutely!
is there any reason why a hot clothing iron would not accomplish the same as the heat tool? i mean, i realize you are selling a product, but it seems like an iron would work, too.
I am not sure of the temperature differences but beyond that, the water/steam and large size would be a challenge.
