How to create Direct Image Transfers using Golden Acrylic Gel and regular laser prints or photocopies.

Nearly any gel, medium, or acrylic paint will work to lift an image, depending on the texture, clarity, and color you want to trap the image within.

1. Apply the gel or paint, and while it is wet, place the image side of a laser copy directly into the wet gel. Let dry overnight

2. Dampen the paper with a wet sponge. Give it a few minutes to allow the water to soak the paper. Begin rubbing carefully. Use a scrubbie, or a soft cloth to remove the paper. You will probably have
to remove the paper a few times, for a clean transfer. When the water evaporates, you will be able to see the areas that you missed.
