What is Powerprint?

Powerprint is a laser print transfer medium.

Transfers images from a laser printer or photocopier to canvas, paper, ceramic,cardboard, fabric, metal and
powertex treated surfaces.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

Choose the image you want to use and print it out on a laser printer or photocopier.For best results the surface you are going to transfer the image to should be a lightcolour that is completelydry.

Remember, the process will create a mirror image ofthe original photograph. If afaithful representation of theimage is required it will benecessary to print out areversed version of theimage to work with.           

Cut out the image you want to use,place it downwards on the surface you want to transferit to and trace a contour around it. If using a canvas ,place a book underneath it to support the surface.

Use a brush to paint a layer of Powerprint inside the drawn contour as well as onto the image side of the laserprint.

Try to maintain the same thickness of Powerprint throughout the application stage. Place the image face down within the drawn contour lines and press down very firmly using the rear of a Powerprint brush.

Dry the image with a hairdryer for 10 minutes on each side, then allow it to cool. With a damp sponge,remove the whitish paperlayer so that only the ink remains encased in a water resistant layer of Powerprint.

Powerprint images can be super-imposed for special effects. Powerprint can be used alone for decoration,or mixed with other mediums such as paper,paint, Stone Art, Powertex, paper decoration or powercotton, sand and other natural materials
