Do you want to customize objects with your own designs?

Prepare products for image transfer

How to transfer images

Before you begin the image transfer process, make sure that the surface you are transferring the image to is porous. If you are transferring the image onto wood, make sure it is sanded and clean. For surfaces such as fabric or ceramic, check that there is no dust or debris that could affect the adhesion of the design.

Don't forget to print your design using a laser printer. This type of printing works best with the Transfer Marker, since laser printer ink transfers more easily.

Fix the design correctly on the surface to transfer images

Once the surface is ready, position the design on it with the printed image facing down. Make sure the design is well aligned and in the correct position, and if it contains text, always mirror it.

You can use anything that helps you secure the design, such as tweezers or adhesive tape. This will prevent the design from moving during the transfer process and will ensure a more perfect result.

Apply the Transfer Marker to the design
