Can I do image transfers with color images?

Last updated on 03 Jan, 2025

The black and white transfers work well because they are laser prints with a carbon based ink, which is fairly lightfast. Color laser prints will work, but you may need to coat them with Golden’s UVLS polymer medium to protect them from fading. The best way to determine what kind of print will transfer is to do an experiment. There are many different inks, printing processes that all have different transfer possibilities.
