Thank you for sharing a great comparison. I own several printers but I live with my laser printer! It’s so great to see both. You’re so very happy creating and teaching beautiful art. 😀. With the transfer it would be a challenge to add certain pigments on gloss medium. I leave that step out once my transfer is done. Unsure about inkjet but with a little more rubbing with water and your ready to pair, chalk, ink etc. Thanks @Nitsa. Small things are the greatest! 😉
Thank you Pinni 🥰 actually you don't need to remove more paper from the inkjet transfer before painting. Like you said, you can skip the varnish step and simply paint over the inkjet, it works great especially if you use watercolors or acrylics. I actually painted the inkjet transfer with watercolors right after I finished recording this video 😁 I will share it soon in a post.
Thank you! I've also seen scale model builders transfer inkjet prints onto still wet glossy finish, with heat from a hair dryer and later wetting the paper so it can be rubbed off. Something for situations where they don't have decal paper at hand.
Thank you for sharing your videos on how to transfer pictures, I’m a social worker, in charge in craft section. From your videos I learned some of your ideas and I want to apply it to my craft, though I haven’t try it yet, I think that it was very useful, especially for my crafts section.I want to try it when I have time and share it to my craft members. Please keep it up , more power to your blogs. God bless you 🙏
You are delightful to watch! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your approach to teaching different techniques. My adult, developmentally delayed daughter can follow you and she is learning a lot from you. We are having fun together! We both are grateful for having found you!
Thanks for sharing this video Nitsa. Did you not use white acrylic paint under the inkject print on purpose? I remember seeing you use it for the the laser print transfer. Just want to know if it makes any difference.
Really great video. I do like them both, but since you mentioned near the end, that Ink Jet, is not as permanent over the long haul, I'd probably stick with Laser more often in my work, when ever possible. Thank you for ALL this information, Nitsa!
Thank you for the comparison! I haven't experimented with anything yet because I try to get what info I can to eliminate as much waste as possible. I like both but the inkjet will be perfect for what I wanna start with and easier to acquire photos than finding somewhere to laser print (that'll be later!) P.s you have an infectious attitude and I love it!
Salve Nitsa, le scrivo dall' Italia, non capisco una parola di quello che dice ma per fortuna youtube mi aiuta con la traduzione. Ho provato il suo tutorial con la stampante inkjet a ricopiare una bella immagine su tela e mi è venuta benissimo. La ringrazio tantissimo, sono felice del risultato. 👍😀
I have only used inkjet photos because everyone has always said to use inkjet. I just started doing this again and I am impressed with your laser shot ! I am going to try my laser printer and compare. Also I have never seen anyone not rub off the paper layers to get rid of the white look. No rubbing must be something new. Is that only because of the varnish application ?
You’re Adorable! Not to mention your great videos. Thank you for sharing projects, even if some of us can’t make a purchase yet. Your bloopers are great for extra smiles 😊😁 Thank you! 🙏😃
I like the bluish undertone of the inkjet image and like the fine detail of the laser image. I liked the comparison. They could both be of use depending on the result you wish to achieve.
I recently acquired some white laminated cupboard doors can I transfer pictures on them thank you so much for your help. I love your videos once again thank you
Thank you Nitsa! I am surprised you only leave it a couple of minutes before peeling paper off; everywhere else I've heard to leave at least 24 hours...? 😊
Love your videos! Question: My image has spots where the image comes off when I gently rub the paper off. Am I not using enough medium, or am I using too much? I have tried waiting different amounts of time to dry and it still happens. I love this process but can’t seem to get the result I want. What would your suggestions be? Thank you!
Great experiment as always… for me it’s the laser result u can count on it… very reliable. Saying that put a bit of distress vintage photo on the inkjet and you have a great transfer… thx 🤩
I remember way back when many years ago I saw someone do this with the Liquitex Matte Medium with inkjet print, but they first lightly sprayed it with hairspray and let it dry, then ironed it with a warm, not hot, iron placing parchment/brown paper bag as in between barrier to cure the ink. The results were just as good as laser printer. Do you think this would help enhance the inkjet print look just as good as the laser print?
It will defenitely enhance the inkjet print. I never used hairspray, what a great idea! but I used spray fixative for the same purpose. So I think it will improve the print to look better, sharper, but from all the experience I have with inkjets, they still are not archival and fade over time. Maybe with your treatment they will last longer though. Thank you for this tip🥰
I did same waybyou shows mine the image some place show wood when on face I didn't use sponge with finger I did gently still please tell me I did so mant pic but not successful done
Hello Nitsa as usual fantastic video. You definitely are my favourite artist I can’t thank you enough for all the tips you share. You could simply show a little and say buy my book for more tips but you don’t do that. Just for that I intend to buy your book. Can I ask do you sell your art work cos it is Amazing. Lots of love.
Hi Nitsa. Thank you for the video. Was I correct in letting the acrylic paint dry completely before applying the medium? I let it dry for a couple of days before trying the transfer - the back of the laser print did not peel away properly and I ended up ruining the print and transfer. I let the transfer dry for 3 minutes as you instructed.
Yes, the acrylic paint needs to dry before you transfer but it really only needs a few minutes to dry. As to the transfer, did you use matte medium? other mediums like gel medium or acrylic glues require a longer drying time before wetting and peeling off the paper.
Thank you for making this printer comparison! I have a mixed media layering question: I’m thinking of using a photo transfer as the base layer of a mixed media collage. After I’ve applied the gloss varnish to my transfer will I be able to use other media over it (ie: pencil, oil-based pastels, acrylic paints, etc.)? Also, when I’m done using all of these various media on the collage, what should I seal to protect the entire piece? Should I just put on another coat of the liquid gloss varnish that I used on the transfer over the entire collage or use a different sealer?
Hi Eric, if you are planning to paint over the transfer, I wouldn't seal it, but instead apply spray fixative over it before painting, especially if you do the inkjet transfer (you can probably skip the fixative if you use laser). When you are done you can any sealer you have on hand, spray or brush-on varnish, I would try to match it to whatever medium you used. Good luck 👍
can you do this process on a canvas? Can you use ModPodge instead of a gloss varnish as last coat? Thanks so much! Loved the video. NOt having much luck with gelli pad transfers of photos, so will try this way.
Is the inkjet used dye based or pigment based? I have been trying to find out which (laser or inkjet) printer to buy and most of the research has suggested inkjet (pigment based) has the best archival qualities for fine art photography so I am wondering if that would also be the case for photo transfers?
Yes you can definitely use Mod Podge instead. Just keep in mind that Mod Podge needs more time to cure, maybe a few hours for inkjet and overnight for a laser photo 👍
Hello, I'm new to your channel. I was curious have you ever or is it possible to layer several images...Transfer one and once it's complete, but before sealing add another image to top?
I'm not sure what's a thermal printer myself. In this video I featured an inkjet printer (the vintage one) and a laser printer (the clear image). Check out below the video I have links to the printers.
They both look fine to me..especially since laser is cost prohibitive for me lol! I'm curious about what happens to the leftover paper after you put on the gloss medium? Does it melt away or are you left with a textured surface?
Not all inkjet printers are created equal. some of us "Non Artist" - most of us - have pigment for black and dye for the color in our inkjets. The dye does not work as well. I guess some of the serious Artist type use the pigment type of inkjet and it sure would be helpful to discuss this top in all the videos. Perhaps stick with black and white pictures unless you are one of the fortunate that has pigment inkjets.
@paullehmann9505 Actually, all you need for these transfers to work is a low-end dye inkjet printer and not the expensive pigment type printer (which actually doesn't really work with most of the processes I share on my channel and in my books). I hope this helps to clear the confusion 🙏
I'm desperately trying to photo transfer onto wood I've tried the ink transfer method in this video but I used liquitex gel and had to leave it to dry but the pepper just stuck to the wood and the ink didn't transfer 😢
Interesting comparison, but there seem to be a couple of things you didn't account for, in your comparison: 1. The laser transfer appears to be over a slightly different, warmer color of white. However, this might also be because: 2. You left the paper residue on the panel for the inkjet transfer, but rubbed it off of the panel for the laser transfer. This change also might account for some part of the differences in apparent detail and crispness. In any case, I avoid any technique for which the paper has to be removed. I hate the variability of the results and the difficulties that can arise--as when the paper /doesn't/ come off in one sheet. (Have you ever tested different brands of paper to see whether that might account for the differences in clean removal?) That said, if I were to use this technique, and given the trade-off in light-fastness, I'd always choose to go with a laser or photocopy transfer. I'd make that choice even if it meant I had to go to a copy shop to print the images. I have a very difficult time justifying the investment of time, effort, and materials in making disposable art. And art that isn't archival is more-or-less disposable. Another thing to remember about acrylic paints and things like laser or photocopy toner is that they are plastics, just as much as if the materials were molded into bottles or bags. Given the cost that microplastics currently and constantly inflict on the biosphere, it's important to actively prevent permitting these substances into the environment, whenever possible. If we are going to continue using these substances in our art (and it's difficult to imagine what reasonable substitutes would be, in the immediate future), we need to be as impeccable as possible in our use of those materials, and our distribution of the resulting art. So, again, I'd go with art that will hold its value and physical integrity longer, rather than art that I knew would fade or break down physically (while sustaining the same polluting chemical structure*) in a relatively short time frame. *Here, I'm not talking about the "chemical structure" of inkjet ink, which does also break down, even though it may not contain plastics.

Yes, I decided to not rub all the paper off from the inkjet because it requires water and since the inkjet ink is water soluble I would have to use fixative so it would just complicated the process. So I totally agree with your comment. Anyway, its also another difference between laser and inkjet, how they handle moisture. As far as doing art, this is very true, I feel the same and will always choose an archival path. But not everyone uses photo transfer in their art and some people do transfer for some temporary solution, so my guess is that they wont care so much about their project being archival. Anyway, thank you so much for taking your time and even more for your thoughtful remarks! 🥰

I feel exactly the same and use laser quite more often👍 Thank you Lynn 🥰
Thank you for the comparison! I haven't experimented with anything yet because I try to get what info I can to eliminate as much waste as possible.

Awesome, thank you Pamela! 🥰
That's a good analysis. 👍 I've experimented myself. I am curious as to all the possibilities. 😊
Thanks for this great video. Which laser printer do you use?
I’m happy to see you again; your videos are very smart and entertaining!

Hello love your videos! What laser printer do you recommend buying to start doing something like this?
Great video! I think the ink jet looks more like the vintage that i like.
Thank you Tina 🥰
Tranfer on wood : I used only
Inkjet printer + Wax paper or
(yellow paper behind sticker)
and rubbing with ice-cream stick
I like the way you use different mediums would this work on card stock?
It does, yes.
What an amazing channel. Answering so many of the questions I've been mulling over. Great stuff.

Same here, I think art should be archival. And actually I do always scratch and distress my too-perfect transfers!
I love your videos! Would love to see a comparison on what ink jet printer does the best transfer. Thanks!
Do you mean I should test different inkjet printers? I only have access to the one I own 🤷🏼♀️

WHAT ABOUT IF YOU USE A PIGMENT INK BASED INKJET- like an Epsom…not a dye-based one?
.
I did same waybyou shows mine the image some place show wood when on face I didn't use sponge with finger I did gently still please tell me I did so mant pic but not successful done
For the ink jet printing do you coat the wood first with white acrylic paint?
Thanks for the comparison . I think I like the more perfect one.
Thank you Patricia 🥰
It is new to me this
I think is awesome 👏
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching 🥰
Nitsa you are awesome! thank you

Since im just starting out what is the most affordable camera i can get to do the quality photos you priduce?
My name is Anina I have a question? Could you do a video comparing pva glue to Matt medium please?
Can you paint over it with Acrylic paint or pastel or charcoal. I want as a template for a portrait
can you do this process on a canvas? Can you use ModPodge instead of a gloss varnish as last coat? Thanks so much! Loved the video. NOt having much luck with gelli pad transfers of photos, so will try this way.
Yes, this process works on canvas and yes, you can use mod podge as the final sealer. Thank you, Janie, and good luck! 💛🌼
What about using a UV coating to prevent fading?
Can I use your inkjet method onto slate or rock slate
Can this be done with a color image?
Is the inkjet used dye based or pigment based? I have been trying to find out which (laser or inkjet) printer to buy and most of the research has suggested inkjet (pigment based) has the best archival qualities for fine art photography so I am wondering if that would also be the case for photo transfers?
True, pigment ink is better for fine art photography but for image transfer you need dye-based ink 👍
Laser is darker nice xxxx
Thank you Joyce 🥰
Love this trial! You are very fun and informative. Thanks so much!!
so cool! thanks
Glad you liked it! 🥰
Laser. The toner is pigment and should last much longer.
Is it possible to use mod podge instead of Liquitex, only because I already have mod podge.
I´m busy learning a lot from your videos. Thank you.
Yes you can definitely use Mod Podge instead. Just keep in mind that Mod Podge needs more time to cure, maybe a few hours for inkjet and overnight for a laser photo 👍
Hello, I'm new to your channel. I was curious have you ever or is it possible to layer several images...Transfer one and once it's complete, but before sealing add another image to top?
Yes you can definitely layer transfers! It will probably produce a very interesting result 👍
I got your book and I got a laser printer haven’t tried it yet
Sounds like you're going to have some fun 😉
Could you demonstrate an inkjet transfer onto a gelli plate and pick up the print that way , please ? Thank you !
not really and it might also damage the gel plate
Can you tell me what is a thermal printer. I like vintage
I'm not sure what's a thermal printer myself. In this video I featured an inkjet printer (the vintage one) and a laser printer (the clear image). Check out below the video I have links to the printers.
They both look fine to me..especially since laser is cost prohibitive for me lol! I'm curious about what happens to the leftover paper after you put on the gloss medium? Does it melt away or are you left with a textured surface?
Its hard to explain, it sort of dissolves, but not completely so yes, it does create some texture and is not smooth like the laser.
Laser does work out cheaper in the long run though.
Not all inkjet printers are created equal. some of us "Non Artist" - most of us - have pigment for black and dye for the color in our inkjets. The dye does not work as well.

Ink jet best
Why did you not use water and sponge to get the rest of the paper off the ink jet photo? Did you go straight to the gloss varnish?
Adding water to the inkjet would further smudge the ink and I wanted to avoid it 👍
Hi beauty, .work transfer laser image on air dry clay ,too?..
I haven't tried air dry clay yet, but hopefully I will get to it in the near future 👍
@@NitsaCreativeStudio ♥
Nitsa what if you have a sublimation printer? Have you tested this yet?
I don't have a sublimation printer and don't know much about it, but I'm going to look into it in the near future 👍
I'm desperately trying to photo transfer onto wood I've tried the ink transfer method in this video but I used liquitex gel and had to leave it to dry but the pepper just stuck to the wood and the ink didn't transfer 😢
Are you using a print from a pigment ink printer? Pigment ink is water resistant and doesn't work with some of the transfer processes.
Can I ask - how does laser compare to ink when done on paper, instead of wood? Hope you can help. Thanks.
Hi, it works pretty much the same on paper as on wood, the laser is clear and the inkjet has a bit smudgy with a vintage appeal 👍
I am shopping for a new inkjet printer. What printer do you use?
I have a low-end dye based Brother printer
Good content bloopers or not. 😂
Glad you like them! 😆
Interesting comparison, but there seem to be a couple of things you didn't account for, in your comparison:
1. The laser transfer appears to be over a slightly different, warmer color of white. However, this might also be because:
2. You left the paper residue on the panel for the inkjet transfer, but rubbed it off of the panel for the laser transfer. This change also might account for some part of the differences in apparent detail and crispness.
In any case, I avoid any technique for which the paper has to be removed. I hate the variability of the results and the difficulties that can arise--as when the paper /doesn't/ come off in one sheet. (Have you ever tested different brands of paper to see whether that might account for the differences in clean removal?)
That said, if I were to use this technique, and given the trade-off in light-fastness, I'd always choose to go with a laser or photocopy transfer. I'd make that choice even if it meant I had to go to a copy shop to print the images. I have a very difficult time justifying the investment of time, effort, and materials in making disposable art. And art that isn't archival is more-or-less disposable.
Another thing to remember about acrylic paints and things like laser or photocopy toner is that they are plastics, just as much as if the materials were molded into bottles or bags. Given the cost that microplastics currently and constantly inflict on the biosphere, it's important to actively prevent permitting these substances into the environment, whenever possible.
If we are going to continue using these substances in our art (and it's difficult to imagine what reasonable substitutes would be, in the immediate future), we need to be as impeccable as possible in our use of those materials, and our distribution of the resulting art. So, again, I'd go with art that will hold its value and physical integrity longer, rather than art that I knew would fade or break down physically (while sustaining the same polluting chemical structure*) in a relatively short time frame.
*Here, I'm not talking about the "chemical structure" of inkjet ink, which does also break down, even though it may not contain plastics. I'm talking about the plastics in the gel medium used to adhere and coat the transfer, which would be disposed of, once the inkjet ink has degraded and faded the image.

The inkjet print had a much nicer color I think
I agree, I also like the vintage-like appearance 💛🌼
Vintage
I think with inkjet you are always going to get some bleeding, whereas with the laser you won't as there isn't really anything to bleed.
I think you are correct 🌷
