Subject: [Baren 45777] Re glassine as transfer
Send Message: To this poster

Sharri, I have used glassine but it's a little iffy when run through the printer. I think this is because the printer's grippers don't get along with the slick glassine.

I have used Mcclains transfer paper with success. For a cheaper alternative I also use transparency sheets, ah the days before PowerPoint! Those were used for projecting presentations in flat bed projectors?

Be sure to get the laser transparencies when printing on inkjet so the ink doesn't dry right away.
Since they are made for printers, they have a little tooth that allows the grippers to pull them through. They transfer very intricate detail and the ink stays "wet" for quite long time on the transparency, allowing you some working time.

"I think it will only pick up your blog if there is woodblock related info on it.."

That's right Barbara....you have to have key word on your label....read this excerpt below from Dave back on 2008 !!!

Julio


"But this afternoon I have discovered - after some time updating many of the blog links - that many of you _are indeed_ now using the labels I requested. (Nobody actually let me know about that though, which is why I had assumed no change ...)



So no panic on this. Thank you to those who _are_ using labels that allow us to pull out the posts with good related content, and I hope that the rest of you will consider doing this. You can choose your own label; whatever suits your own work - for example, 'printmaking' 'woodblock' 'woodcut' 'lino' etc. etc., and as long as you _do_ actually let me know what you are doing, I will set our software to parse your feed correctly, looking for your particular label. You can then use your blog to publish whatever other content you like, and it won't bother us at all."

Hi

Well, I would like to set my key word to Print, so that way I can avoid being picked up. If i don't use the word print in the title, it won't be picked up, is that right???
