If you're doing a distressed sign that you want to look aged I think the inkjet graphic compliments the aged look. You can always go in with prismacolor pencil to enhance the copy a little bit. 👍 Thanks for showing the two types of printer ink processes. Very helpful.
That’s what I said too Lily Mae.. I really like that look better because it looks more natural to me. I thank you for the tutorial on it and I LOVE watching you, it makes my day..❤️
The channel, “Red Rocking Bird,” has a tutorial with an inkjet, and it worked great for her. She doesn’t use hair spray, but I have heard that might help. I haven’t tried it myself, yet, but I do want to try it. I have learned so much from both of your channels. You are such a great teacher. Thank you, for showing the difference, so we can explore, with the tools we have. I noticed one thing she did differently, is that she worked in small sections, to wet it, and rub it down, so that may have helped her. Since it wasn’t all wet at once, it didn’t give it time to smudge.
Thank you for the comparison. For the Inkjet = What you can also do is OVER Sharp your image, especially if transferring photos. Then get crazy, you can OVER Saturate any colors. Like it will be "too much," then when printing, do the highest quality = more ink is put down. Print, let it dry for a bit, completely dry, then do the Mod Podge. I always thought it odd that tutorials say it's not possible to transfer if using an inkjet. The OVER saturation and the OVER sharpening help make up for the result you're seeing here, which is flat, out of focus.
I’ve always did this with my ink jet! I didn’t realize it made a difference with the two different printers until I watched your video!. I guess I like the vintage grungy look of the ink jet but a laser is definitely worth looking into also. Thanks for this video; I would have never known the difference! ❤️
I came up with a cool idea for a product to sell in my Etsy store and a variation of the idea involved transfers of some type. As I was researching on U2'b, this video came up. I despise ink jet printers (mainly for the residual costs) and have always had a laser printer. After watching a number of videos on this method, all using ink jet printers, I thought my idea was going to die on the vine. But then I saw this and I am excited to give it a try. A lot of people suggested the ink jet result was better for the distressed look, but it seems you could easily distress the result from a laser printed transfer with fine sand paper and a light touch. With this method, you can control the distressing to your liking rather than accept the random results with an ink jet transfer.
Thanks so much for this comparison! I never even tried with my ink jet printer because they said it couldn't be done. 🤦🏻♀️ And yet here you are doing it. I'm going to stop listening to people and just try stuff out.
I could HUG you!!! Ty so much for this video! I was soo sad when I learned I had to have a laser printer because I didn't want to invest in one when I have an expensive inkjet. Well, now I don't have to! It works just fine with inkjet and I'm sooo happy!!! Ty so much for all your videos. You improved my business flow. ❤️❤️❤️
I like them both. I have laser printers and honestly I'd never go back to inkjet. Laser is more expensive but you save tons of money in the long run on toner (vs. Ink).
@@OurUpcycledLife Been enjoying your videos all day. New subscriber. Found you on one of the decoupage pages on Facebook. Great job - your items you make are gorgeous! And hello from a daughter of a Canadian. She was from Manitoba till moving to the states in the late 40’s. Miss going up there!!
I make a lot of distressed looking crates and soap boxes in my woodshop and get requests for distressed lettering. I really like this technique and will probably use both. Thanks for the great instructions.
Thanks for demonstrating the difference. I like the ink jet printer better. Gives it a more rustic, worn look. I wanted to do this on rustic painted clay pots. Think it will look great for what I’m going for.
Hi! I am happy to see the results from the 2 printers. I used an ink jet printer and Mod Podge and couldn't get back to the project for 2 days!! It was a disaster to try and rub the paper off. I'm sharing this to help someone else. I don't know if it was printed with a laser jet, if it would have rubbed off ok. Great video!
Thanks for watching! The ink jet came be tricky ... I also find it works better if you don’t let it sit that long . It would have been fine with a laser jet ❤️
I actually like the ink jet better because it looks naturally aged and worn and doesn't look like a modern super crisp new redo of an old sign. Thank you for these video's by the way, I really LOVE your channel and subscribed! You remind me of a dear sweet friend.
Great tutorial. I like both versions but the ink jet makes it look more rustic to me, like the sign has been around a long time. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to try this.
Thanks for this. I like the more weathered look of the ink jet and it is the kind of printer I have so will try it out. Thanks so much. Was searching for just this info and came upon your video.
One thing about the ink jet print is how with it, the sign looks a bit more rustic to me. Like both printings, but, think I like the more rustic, ink jet look the best. TY for sharing and letting us know how to not get the dried print too wet. That was the problem I had when I tried my first "image transfer" sometime ago. I never knew what I had done wrong - now I do, and, will be trying it again.. TY for sharing your methods with us.
This is great! There has been conflicting videos on which printer to use. My brother in law takes lovely photos and I'd like to see the results of them on wood boards. I have a color lazer printer and am eager to try it now!
Hi from Lapland 👋🏻😊 i would like to leave a comment regarding ink jet transfers: i do also like the rustic look, but keep in mind that, ink jet prints strongly fade in the sun! After only one summer exposed in the sun, you will hardly see your transfer. Thought this might be an important point. 🤷🏻♀️ However, I ❤️ your channel 😊
What a great video tutorial! I only have an inkjet printer and the question you answered by comparing the inkjet to the laser jet was really valuable and informative. Thanks! The grammar nerd in me has to comment on the pronunciation of the Mod Podge product. It’s NOT modge podge - the first word is MOD. It’s a mistake I hear all the time, though, because it’s so easy to do!😂 I think it may have been named Mod Podge because, years ago, mod meant new and improved. Anyway…please forgive my fanaticism! Your channel is one of my favorites.
Brilliant, so detailed. Thank you very much. I am going to try putting reverse transfers on an old wooden, free-standing, towel rail, and turn it into (hopefully) French Shabby,
Thank you so much for doing this so sorry I'm late but I have been searching for this type of post for a long time some years actually thank you for putting my mind at ease
Good morning and Happy Easter! I use ink jet, but treat it more like rice or decopage paper. I dont flip the image, but rather use the whole thing. I buy cheap printer paper, its thinner and is easy to work with, plus I dont have to do the extra step of peeling the paper off. If you hair spray your image, it's less likely to run the colors...just a thought. I love your videos and how you teach, thank you.
Yes great tips! You can also make the computer paper even a little bit thinner with this technique then decoupage: th-cam.com/video/9uLxgmoluYE/w-d-xo.html
Love this vid because I have an ink jet printer and I purchased some of your graphics- after seeing this, I went to the library to print out because they have the (I don't know if you would call it a laser jet- but it uses toner) instead of the ink. We shall see if I can get it to work.
I have used both, i'm not sure about the mod pod she used but I do know the dishwasher safe mod pod seals the picture in better where you don't wipe away the photo as much.
Very cool! I bet if you used a different kind of material to print on with your inkjet printer that you could get better results. I believe I've seen people print on film and laminate sheets.
Thanks for watching! ❤️ I don’t think a scraper would work that well. It would also scrape of the graphic. But I sometimes use a rag so it’s easier on fingers if that helps 🌸
I'm not a huge fan of ink jet printers for many reasons, including that a printed letter on a laser jet is infinitely cleaner without fuzzies - experience with an ink jet is poor quality or not crisp, clean letters on simple black & white printing. Having had this experience from years ago has really slanted me away from the ink jet. However, I do use an ink jet for photo printing and have good success, but it requires a top quality ink jet in my opinion. I say if you have a choice and are not looking for fuzzy of distressed use a laser printer. I really appreciate your comparison however, I can see that distressed-look crafters may well want an ink jet to accomplish this without having to use an abrasive to tone down their signs.
Found ur videos while researching color graphic transfer onto wood. Your tutorials are very informative and I absolutely love the fact that u get down to business quickly. I have a question about the graphic transfer with an inkjet; I've watch several of your other videos on this subject and I noticed when you decoupaged ur camping pics and the graphic on the aged paper that you low baked then sprayed with hair spray to prevent bleeding (inkjet)...would this same process work with the reverse prints for total transfer (paper removal) or could it perhaps lessen the "bleeding" of the ink?
When doing the reverse technique with an inkjet printer it won’t make a difference if you put it in the oven and actually if you put hairspray on it it will prevent it from transferring as well
Thank you for sharing the video. This is the first side by side comparison that I see on TH-cam. Others only say "inkjet isn't possible. You showed that it's not true. It is possible with the inkjet printer as well. And, in combination with distressed would, it's maybe even more suitable. I don't own an inkjet printer anymore. When my last one died, I switched to laser.
Thanks for taking the time to make and upload the video. I was wondering why there are two white blobs below and to the left of the word coffee on the laser jet sign?
I wonder if you put the Transfer medium on the wood, rather than on the inkjet picture would it smudge less? You wouldn’t be dragging your brush across the inkjet print merely laying it down on the prepared wood. Just a thought. Love your demos x
I did try that technique and it didn’t make any difference. It’s the actual rubbing I found that took the image away. Worth a try though might work for you ❤️
Love your video! I tried this and it seems like I’ve rubbed off the paper 5 different times. I did it on a canvas, and after I rub it off and it’s still wet, it looks good. But then by the time it’s dry, it’s all white again, Like it won’t stop peeling off. Any suggestions?
I recently saw a video where you put a ink jet printed image in a oven at 200° for 10 min. to set the ink will this work for reverse transfer printed with ink jet, will it help the ink transfer better with no or less smudges
Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried that but would certainly worth a try and it will probably help a lot with smudges. Let me know how it works it you try it! ❤️
It is just regular computer paper and I have lots of other videos on my channel doing these techniques you can check out and will guide you along. Thanks for watching
Yes you can but paint the glass surface with chalk paint first. otherwise it wont adhere well. Here is a tutorial on how I paint my glass. th-cam.com/video/i8ETTafLTrA/w-d-xo.html
Been doing this for sometime and curious how you handle what I like to call "paper fog"? After all the paper is off (that will come off without destroying the design)... and after the water has totally dried, the design seems to "fog over" some. Add water and it's instantly bright again. Usually a clear sealant takes care of this for me but wondered if you had any other thoughts on this? Thnx...
Yes you can get a bit of a haze at times just need to work on a small area and dampen finger and rub slowly. When you add the poly alot will go away if you still cant get it off. Use the cheapestest computer paper so you dont have as much paper to rub off also
I am so excited. I just found you today on youtube. I watched the transfer video , how to make chalk paint and this video so far. My questions is, I believe you said their is an extra step you have to use if you are using an inkjet printer to make your transfers. I haven't found that video or I missed it somewhere. Is there an extra set or am I making that up? I appreciate your reply. Thank you for doing these videos. I am going to find you on Facebook next!! Have a great day.
Hi there! Glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. When using a ink jet you just have to use very little water and rub off in small sections at a time. It is a bit trickier but it can be done. Here is another video that will help you out :) th-cam.com/video/F17WmucEwqM/w-d-xo.html
So do you have to paint the wood surface first like you did or was that just for stand out quality? I also see lots of these videos using printable lable backing paper to print. Now those dont use modge podge and rubbing so does that mean long as im using mod podge technique i can use normal printing paper?(working with an ink jett) thank you for your time and this video comparison.
I just use normal computer paper for this method and paint the wood so it stand out better. The label paper is a completely different method ❤️ thanks for watching

you don't have to crumple the paper .. just use special transfer paper for sublimation printing and the paper will peel off beautifully.....

Yes both have a different look

Thanks for the info Verona. TH-cam just recommended this video again and I'm so glad I checked the comments.
@@OurUpcycledLifecan you make a video comparing this technique too?
How do you "Oversharp" the pictures, can you do that in print options or do you have to edit the pic first ( I havent even set up my printer yet) lol
I’ve always did this with my ink jet! I didn’t realize it made a difference with the two different printers until I watched your video!.

Yes the laser jet is more of a crisp look ♥️ thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Nesreen!! I use the poly sealer as a top coat 🌸 I like the finish of it
Hye.. thank you for the video love it.. i have gloss varnish it is same like mod podge??..
Thanks for watching ❤️ no it isn’t the same. I would use the gloss as a top coat on my signs
If I just have a few, I take them to somewhere like Staples or Office Depot for the Laser Jet. It's just a few cents more.
Yes that is a great way to get affordable prints ❤️
Love this💐 You are a great inspiration! can I use a scraper lightly on the transfer as my fingers are starting to get arthritis 😕. ?
Thanks for watching! ❤️ I don’t think a scraper would work that well. It would also scrape of the graphic. But I sometimes use a rag so it’s easier on fingers if that helps 🌸
This worked perfectly for me. I found I had to continuously rewet areas because it is quite time consuming and tedious and the water dries up.
Thanks for watching Martha! Yes it takes a bit of time but works great
Thanks!

I wonder if you put the Transfer medium on the wood, rather than on the inkjet picture would it smudge less? You wouldn’t be dragging your brush across the inkjet print merely laying it down on the prepared wood. Just a thought. Love your demos x
I did try that technique and it didn’t make any difference. It’s the actual rubbing I found that took the image away. Worth a try though might work for you ❤️
I like the g and a's on Inkjet better.
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed
Love your video! I tried this and it seems like I’ve rubbed off the paper 5 different times. I did it on a canvas, and after I rub it off and it’s still wet, it looks good. But then by the time it’s dry, it’s all white again, Like it won’t stop peeling off. Any suggestions?
Hey there!! Sometimes it will stay cloudy but when I put a coat of poly acrylic sealer on it that will go away❤️
@@OurUpcycledLife Thanks so much!!!
I recently saw a video where you put a ink jet printed image in a oven at 200° for 10 min. to set the ink will this work for reverse transfer printed with ink jet, will it help the ink transfer better with no or less smudges
Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried that but would certainly worth a try and it will probably help a lot with smudges. Let me know how it works it you try it! ❤️
i have question what kind of paper do to transfer? i am to new mode podge world trying figure things thank you for all your information.
It is just regular computer paper and I have lots of other videos on my channel doing these techniques you can check out and will guide you along. Thanks for watching
Thanks for doing this video!
You bet! Have fun creating 🌸
Thank you for the tutorial it has helped greatly. One question can this method be used to transfer on to a glass block? 😊
Yes you can but paint the glass surface with chalk paint first. otherwise it wont adhere well. Here is a tutorial on how I paint my glass. th-cam.com/video/i8ETTafLTrA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this
Thanks for watching Tina ❤️
Can you use the spray Mod podge? Thanks for the video,
I have actually only used the liquid not the spray so I’m unsure ❤️ thanks for watching
@@OurUpcycledLife Thank you for your response. I will try it and let you know :)
This may be a dumb question, but for pictures.. do you use regular paper or photo paper?
Just use regular paper ❤️ thanks for watching
Love both just show you can use a ink injek
Yep you sure can just take a bit of practise!
Been doing this for sometime and curious how you handle what I like to call "paper fog"?
After all the paper is off (that will come off without destroying the design)... and after the water has totally dried, the design seems to "fog over" some. Add water and it's instantly bright again. Usually a clear sealant takes care of this for me but wondered if you had any other thoughts on this? Thnx...
Yes you can get a bit of a haze at times just need to work on a small area and dampen finger and rub slowly. When you add the poly alot will go away if you still cant get it off. Use the cheapestest computer paper so you dont have as much paper to rub off also
@@OurUpcycledLife makes sense about the cheaper paper!! 👍👍
Thank you for showing both. Is there a way to do this without the reverse graphics? Will it work straight on? Please advise. Thank you.
You can just do a decoupage if you’d like, I have all kinds of tutorials of different methods. Here’s a playlist.

Thank you so much.
thanks for watching!
This sounds pretty easy !
However I am not computer savvy. Where or how do I go about , on the computer to set up the print I want to use?
I am so excited. I just found you today on youtube. I watched the transfer video , how to make chalk paint and this video so far. My questions is, I believe you said their is an extra step you have to use if you are using an inkjet printer to make your transfers. I haven't found that video or I missed it somewhere. Is there an extra set or am I making that up? I appreciate your reply. Thank you for doing these videos. I am going to find you on Facebook next!! Have a great day.
Hi there! Glad you found me! Love new crafting friends. When using a ink jet you just have to use very little water and rub off in small sections at a time. It is a bit trickier but it can be done. Here is another video that will help you out :) th-cam.com/video/F17WmucEwqM/w-d-xo.html
So do you have to paint the wood surface first like you did or was that just for stand out quality? I also see lots of these videos using printable lable backing paper to print. Now those dont use modge podge and rubbing so does that mean long as im using mod podge technique i can use normal printing paper?(working with an ink jett) thank you for your time and this video comparison.
I just use normal computer paper for this method and paint the wood so it stand out better. The label paper is a completely different method ❤️ thanks for watching
