What you need:
Inkjet Printer
Inkjet Transparencies
Gel medium
Receiving surface
UV-resistant clear finish
This method is quite similar to the basic image transfer except the image is printed onto an inkjet transparency film.
Set your printer to inkjet transparencies settings and print a mirror-image of your photo into the non-shiny side of the transparency.
Coat the background of your choice with gloss Gel Medium and place the image side of the transparency face down into the background surface.
Smooth the transparency softly with your fingers to remove any air bubbles and to help transfer the ink.
Lift the transparency to reveal the transfer.
(After the transfer is done you can use the transparency in a mixed media collage; simply adhere it to your collage using gel medium.)
