is it possible to take an image from my computer, print it on a trasfer paper,..?

Question

and transfer it onto a gift box?

Answer 1

You can use an inkjet printer to make a transfer, but you may also need to use some kind of acrylic medium to be the "carrier" for it to help it transfer better and not-palely and to make it stick well (for example, acrylic gel medium, acrylic wood finishes, liquid polymer clay, etc.).

(You can use regular paper though if you make the print with "toner" instead of with ink though by using a photocopier or a laser, which both use toner).

There's lots of info on making transfers in all kinds of ways on this page at my site (...though the site is about polymer clay, putting transfers onto baked clay would be the same):

... check out especially perhaps the categories *Transfer Papers* ...and also *Non-Liquid Clay Mediums* for the acrylic finishes method

Answer 2

Well, you can copy the image on regular copy paper, and decoupage it on the gift box. No need for transfer paper.

Answer 3

You can try and use decal paper. It's located in section where the pinewood car supplies are in your craft store.

Answer 4

Depands on the function of your printer.
