I need help!
I have been trying without success to transfer images...using the citrasolv and other techniques but it is not working. Which brand of printers are you using? And which method? The Shabby House holiday open house is Thursday...I am scrambling to get things finished. Thanks for any help...I'll be back soon.
Villa Barnes uses a method whith the 'Splendid Blender' pen, that seems to work quite well.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI can't speak from experience, but I think the key is to use a lazer printer for your graphics.
Hope this helps,

I am only leaving a comment to tell you of the irony of this post... I just logged off of the citra solv page because I was trying to find out where I could find some! I haven't tried it yet, but desperately want to. i have read that the printer must be a toner printer, such as the type kinkos has, not our ink jets. I will stay tuned to see if you get some expert advice. Good luck at the show! t.xoxooxo
ReplyDeleteHi~ I have read a lot about this just last eve...they say to use the CONCENTRATE Citra-Solv and also make sure you have the image printed from a TONER printer ..like from a copy place or library ..check and make sure the printer uses TONER not ink ..also I have heard over and over to only use high contrast black and white prints ..that muted tones dont show as well ..so make sure that you print it in B&W or grayscale ...also do not saturate the print ..but instead lightly dab it with the brush til it is see through ..then barnish with back of spoon !
ReplyDeleteHope these tips help you !!

Pretty sure it needs to be a laser copy that you print a little darker than usual.
ReplyDeleteHope you figure it out.

Well the only method I have used is the modge podge and I have a ink jet printer, but laser works much better so I am told. Good luck!

It has to be a toner based laser printer. I used the UPS store copy machine, but I had to try several places before I found one that worked. Good luck!

Iron muslin onto freezer paper, cut to 8 1/2 x 11, then run through your printer. usually have to put on 'best print'. and most generally any kind of printer will do.
ReplyDeleteif using solvant or contact paper, you have to have a laser printer or print from copier that uses toner.
ink jet or desk jet printers do not work for this type of image transfers.
hope this helps.
Renee, I have had luck with citrasolv... I have my copies made at the local UPS store which has lazer printers. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThey way I understand the process is you have to take your image to a printing place that uses a laser printer not an ink jet. Someplace like Kinkos. I tried it with my home computer and it didn't work for me. Hope this helps. Debbie at My Shabby Roses has done several pillows. If you still have troubles check with her. She's a sweetie and I know would help :)

ReplyDeleteI was just looking into citrasolve earlier today and Ticking and Toile has a great tutorial. Here's the link:

When using this product, you have to print the images on a printer that uses toner. It will not work using an inkjet printer. Hope this helps.

Love what you are doing. I also have no success. Glad to know that other wonderful bloggers also have difficulties with this process.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
