    Your art is so effortless looking, but I know from experience how hard that is to achieve (believe you me, it’s a daily struggle!). Every vid I watch, I learn something new and it keeps me inspired to make new things. Collage art/ surrealism/ abstract is such a nebulous style, and your ideas just scratch a certain itch that I’ve never seen from any other artist on the internet. Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips and inspiration!

    Good to remember that a laser copy is made of plastic toner and the magazine is conventional solvent based ink. The plastic in the acrylics is bonding differently. Bet you already knew that. Love your work regardless!

    Hi Mark! I've only been following you for about a month and I just want to say that you inspire me so much. Your way of sharing the art making process is very close to me. Few people on YT have such an honest and sweet presence. And at the same time, you have a really original approach and skills as an artist. Just wanted to say thanks!

    I’ve been working on a method for Inkjet gel transfer. Sorry for the novel, but it requires a few specific steps. The results have become quite impressive though, so well worth the extra bit of work..
    1. Apply a thin layer of clear acrylic medium to a gel plate. Allow to dry completely. A glossy, smooth finish on the dry acrylic layer will transfer the most detail.
    2. Print artwork onto wax paper (both B&W and color inks will transfer). I’m currently using a roll of Cut-Rite wax paper taped to printer paper. Any surfaces that don’t absorb the ink but don’t form visible droplets will work though. If the ink still smears a minute or two after printing you’re on the right track.
    3. Apply the inked waxed paper immediately, or wait a few seconds to let the wet ink dry slightly - this may reduce smearing. Do not rub!! The ink is wet and will smear between the gel and wax paper. Use the least amount of pressure as possible, just enough to make contact. If you are using transparent wax paper you will notice that the ink becomes much darker when it makes contact with the acrylic media on the gel plate.
    4. Let the gel/ink/wax sandwich set for at least 5 - 10 minutes, then remove the wax paper carefully - it will still be slightly wet and smear if you touch it. If working correctly nearly all the ink will remain on the acrylic layer.
    5. Allow the transferred ink to dry thoroughly. The printer ink may feel dry to the touch but may still smear when rolling more paint on to it. For a better seal, or to speed up the process you can use spray on clear acrylic. This should seal the ink and protect it from subsequent paint layers.
    Notes.
    1. Small bubbles will cause the wet ink to pool between the clear acrylic and wax paper. If you try to push them out, it will only smear the artwork. I try to start the wax paper on one edge of the gel plate and work it across to reduce the air gaps.
    2. You don’t need much ink. Having too much ink will make it smear more easily. A thin or plain paper setting on inkjet printers uses the least amount of ink. Glossy settings use the most ink.
    3. I’ve been able to transfer quite fine details, and full tonal ranges using this method. Say good by to half-tone transfers - unless you just want that look :)

      Challenge accepted!!!! This is partly why posting on YT has been so rewarding - it starts interesting conversations and discoveries get shared. Cheers for taking the time to give such a comprehensive description. Have you tried inkjet printing onto grease proof paper? its the closest i have to wax paper to hand!

    • @wph4520
      @wph4520 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@yeatesmakes That would probably work though I've not tried it. I've tried tracing paper and synthetic polypropylene paper, but it just adhered to the surface so a no go :). I'm thinking of getting some professional cut waxed paper so I don't have to cut and tape. Clear acetate may work as well, but may pool and smear too much. I think a slightly mat surface helps keep the ink in place while it is still wet. Let me know how it goes. The results I've gotten have been better than I expected. Near photo quality, allowing for a few bubbles :)

    • @wph4520
      @wph4520 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@carolynking5418 You bet. It does work, but I haven't been able to get especially repeatable results. One of the things I do now is spray a light coat of clear acrylic onto the wet transferred ink, right after I pull the wax sheet off. The inkjet ink just takes forever to dry, so quick layer of spray on acrylic seals it and dries almost immediately. I've gotten really good transfers, but the quality is unpredictable. I've been using glossy, self leveling acrylic medium. I want to try some matte next for the receiving surface. I'm hoping that will keep the ink from beading and smudging.. That's the weak point; well that and the wax paper. I'm currently using thin kitchen roll paper. It tends to buckle and warp with the wet ink. Probably need thicker wax paper.
