Amsterdam Photo Transfer Gel is a medium that lets you transfer your photocopies and laser images to any new surface including pillows, canvases, ceramic tiles, mirrors, old wood, chalk and milk painted surfaces, any type of fabric, etc.
To use it, you first need to invert (reverse) your image either on your phone or in an image editing software program like Photoshop Elements. Then simply prepare the paper on the print side, then press it onto the transfer medium while remembering to squeeze away any air from under the print.
Leave it to dry for at least 24 hours (important) and when dry, remove the paper by carefully rubbing it using a brush and water or a moist cloth.
Afterwards, you can paint over the transferred image with acrylic paint or varnish to waterproof when dry. Full instructions are included.
Please note Photo Transfer Gel is not suitable for children under 3 years and adult supervision is required and you need to store it in a frost-free environment and apply at temperatures above 10 degrees C.
(N.B. This product is not suitable for ink jet prints)
