Hi all, so I think I have thoroughly checked the blog before asking this question – since the post is so old, I don’t want to ask something that has already been asked .. How do I sand these? Do I sand these, is the new paste wax we’ve been seeing a good choice? I bought a color laser printer just to do this but don’t know how to “finish” it. thanks
@Desiree: I don’t usually do much sanding at all on an image transfer, since it would be so easy to remove the image. You can use a super high grit sandpaper, like 1000grit – 2000grit wet/dry automotive sandpaper or (6000 – 12000 if you’re using Micro-Mesh). Buffing can also be done with great success. Yes, the Paste Wax Technique would be perfect for protecting your image transfers.
I am fairly new to polymer clay making and want to learn more about transfers using parchment paper. I kind of have the idea, but I want to invest in a good printer and .I was wondering if it’s best to buy a laser printer or inject one. Can you please help me? Thank You!
@Melissa P: Hi Melissa, I’m sorry but I don’t really have any advice as to which printer would be best for you to buy for the parchment paper technique. Maybe someone else can help you better.
@Melissa P: Hi Melissa, were you asking about a laser printer vs. an inkjet? Or does ‘inject’ refer to something else? I haven’t done many transfers…and there are SO many methods to choose from. Still, I thought I’d see if you could clarify this point, and at the same time it would bump up this comment in the “recent comment list” so someone could help you… Best of luck! :D
Thank you Debbie! It is very nice to hear you say that. It does take a lot of time and to know it is helpful for you makes it worth the time!
Thank you SO much for sharing your talent with the community. It is well written and very informative. I deeply appreciate the time it must take.
Thank you Katina for your comment! There are so many creative ideas you can do with image transfer… the sky’s the limit!

Wow, what a lot of information. This tutorial is great and I like that you included both pics and videos. I use transfers on paper and fabric and now can use it on clay.
Please let me know if this sort of written tutorial is helpful. They take a fair amount of time to create so I’d love to get some feedback as to whether I should do more of them on other polymer clay bead making topics. Thanks.
