Omg, I’m going crazy with this transfer stuff.
I got shelled out a ton of money on an Hp color laserjet. 1. I can’t find the mirror/reverse option, read online it’s not available. 2. It only works with my macbook via usb cable. The biggest issue is thatI it’s impossible to remove the paper w/o rubbing away the transfers. I even used a very soft ox hair brush under water. After a very long time the paper started to come with the image. The image doesn’t transfer. Te paper becomes translucent. Next I got a copy from an Hp black and white laser jet and my transfer was fast, easy, and perfect. Is the color printer only useful for color transfers?

Love your site and your work. My question on image transfers: Can you transfer color laser prints or copies?

Hi, thank you for the tutorials. You don’t have to use acetone. You can just use plain water to rub and remove the paper. Healthier way to go.

I’ve just started to use oil bars and decided to research oilbars with wax. Found your site and I’m ready to experiment. Thanks for the info.
