INKJET TRANSFER

Inkjet Transfer Paper – immclains.com
Images printed on this heavy duty, double-sided waxed paper can be transferred onto any absorbent material such as paper, linoleum or wood. It will not work on hard or slick surfaces. The inkjet ink stays wet on the waxed paper for several minutes. After inkjet printing, place the printed side down on the block, paper, etc. Tape the Transfer Paper in place, put a piece of newsprint, tracing paper or ategami on top and rub with a baren, brayer or wooden spoon. The image will immediately transfer. Wipe off the residue and reuse both sides several times.

DIY Wax Paper Method – theartofdoingstuff.com
1. Cut sheets of waxed paper to the size of computer paper.
2.  Print your image onto the waxed paper with any Inkjet printer. It doesn’t matter which side you print on – sides are waxed.
3.  Carefully place the image on your wood (wet side down) and then rub over it with a spoon, baren, credit card, etc.

HELPFUL TIPS
  • Dampening the wood or paper slightly will make the transfer darker, but can blur and smudge if you’re not careful.
  •  If the waxed paper won’t go through the printer – tape it to a piece of regular printer paper before feeding it into your printer.
  • Use the more "slippery" side of the freezer paper
GOLDEN ACRYLIC FAST IMAGE TRANSFER

Most Golden Acrylic Mediums can be used for image transfer, except for "Tar Gel".
CYANOTYPE
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. – from wikipedia

ANTHOTYPE
An anthotype is an image created using photosensitive material from plants. This process was originally invented by Mary Somerville who presented her research to Sir John Herschel (who is often misquoted as the inventor) in 1842. An emulsion is made from crushed flower petals or any other light-sensitive plant, fruit or vegetable. A coated sheet of paper is then dried. Place some material, for example leaves or a transparent photo positive on the paper and expose to direct full sunlight until the image part not covered by the material is bleached out by the sun rays. The color remains in the shadowed parts. The paper remains sensitive against such rays. – from wikipedia
