Default Re: Experimental transfer film results

Tim,
As promised here are my results with your film. It would do no good to do a side by side with the Epson films as they are no longer available so what I have posted here are only pics of transfer with the test film.
Here are a couple of transfer facts.
1. No matter what printer you use you need to have PIGMENT based black ink. The Epson DuraBrite and the HP Vivera inks are pigment based. Dye based inks will not transfer or will not transfer well.
2. YOU must know how to set YOUR printer to use black ink only.

I tried my Canon but it failed it is dye based ink I was sure it would not work but I gave it a try anyway.

That said here is what I used on these transfers.
A. Epson printer with DuraBrite pigment based black ink the model or tank number is not important the INK is.
B. Test films provided by Tim Wells
C. Transfer Magic solution
D. White test transfer solution

The attached images show the results of the transfer tests. The images on the left of the sample block are on white test transfer solution, the images on the right of the sample block using transfer magic. On the knife the material is polished stainless. The scroll on the bolster is on Transfer Magic solution and the scroll on the blade is white test solution.

Tim overall the results were very good I think this film is a winner and will replace the Epson films with no problems.
