Tutorial – InkJet Transfers

Photographs make a lovely addition to a journal, but have the disadvantage of making the book rather bulky.  If you are using a bound journal, and want to include many photo’s, you run the risk of damaging the binding.  There is a solution – transfer an InkJet photograph into your journal as shown in this video tutorial from Jessica Wesolek of Cre8it.com -

Inkjet printers can use either Dye or Pigment ink.  Dye ink is more commonly used, but Kodak printers and the Epson Durabrite use pigment ink.  You will obtain a better result from these pigment ink printers as there will be no bleed through the page.  Dye based printers are likely to bleed through the Moleskine Sketchbook page. It’s really only the red ink that bleeds through and you will get a pink patch on the back of the page – which can be drawn and painted over, or you can glue items in to cover it.  But if using a dye ink based printer do check that you do not have anything that could be spoilt on the page behind.The Sheer Heaven mentioned in the tutorial can be purchased online from Cre8it.com
