you don't have to crumple the paper .. just use special transfer paper for sublimation printing and the paper will peel off beautifully.....

If you're doing a distressed sign that you want to look aged I think the inkjet graphic compliments the aged look. You can always go in with prismacolor pencil to enhance the copy a little bit. 👍 Thanks for showing the two types of printer ink processes. Very helpful.

I agree, for me personally, I like that washed up look better 🤷🏻‍♀️ ❤

Thank you for the comparison. For the Inkjet = What you can also do is OVER Sharp your image, especially if transferring photos. Then get crazy, you can OVER Saturate any colors. Like it will be "too much," then when printing, do the highest quality = more ink is put down. Print, let it dry for a bit, completely dry, then do the Mod Podge. I always thought it odd that tutorials say it's not possible to transfer if using an inkjet. The OVER saturation and the OVER sharpening help make up for the result you're seeing here, which is flat, out of focus.

Yes both have a different look

The channel, “Red Rocking Bird,” has a tutorial with an inkjet, and it worked great for her. She doesn’t use hair spray, but I have heard that might help. I haven’t tried it myself, yet, but I do want to try it. I have learned so much from both of your channels. You are such a great teacher. Thank you, for showing the difference, so we can explore, with the tools we have. I noticed one thing she did differently, is that she worked in small sections, to wet it, and rub it down, so that may have helped her. Since it wasn’t all wet at once, it didn’t give it time to smudge.

What a great video tutorial! I only have an inkjet printer and the question you answered by comparing the inkjet to the laser jet was really valuable and informative. Thanks! The grammar nerd in me has to comment on the pronunciation of the Mod Podge product. It’s NOT modge podge - the first word is MOD. It’s a mistake I hear all the time, though, because it’s so easy to do!😂 I think it may have been named Mod Podge because, years ago, mod meant new and improved. Anyway…please forgive my fanaticism! Your channel is one of my favorites.

Hi from Lapland 👋🏻😊 i would like to leave a comment regarding ink jet transfers: i do also like the rustic look, but keep in mind that, ink jet prints strongly fade in the sun!

Good morning and Happy Easter! I use ink jet, but treat it more like rice or decopage paper. I dont flip the image, but rather use the whole thing. I buy cheap printer paper, its thinner and is easy to work with, plus I dont have to do the extra step of peeling the paper off. If you hair spray your image, it's less likely to run the colors...just a thought. I love your videos and how you teach, thank you.

@OurUpcycledLife

Yes I was surprised how well it worked !

I'm not a huge fan of ink jet printers for many reasons, including that a printed letter on a laser jet is infinitely cleaner without fuzzies - experience with an ink jet is poor quality or not crisp, clean letters on simple black & white printing. Having had this experience from years ago has really slanted me away from the ink jet. However, I do use an ink jet for photo printing and have good success, but it requires a top quality ink jet in my opinion. I say if you have a choice and are not looking for fuzzy of distressed use a laser printer. I really appreciate your comparison however, I can see that distressed-look crafters may well want an ink jet to accomplish this without having to use an abrasive to tone down their signs.

I have used both, i'm not sure about the mod pod she used but I do know the dishwasher safe mod pod seals the picture in better where you don't wipe away the photo as much.
