Hello everyone I found a way to transfer patterns with a inkjet printer. Mine is a HP that has #63 ink cartridges. I run out of black ink just as I went to try this method. But it comes out a bit brighter then red I tried a few different size patterns to post. I will get some more ink today I hope and post with black. I used inkscape to work the patterns over to help with the details these are not my designs they are copy wright free. From Google search
I used parchment paper that I had but I did get a better transfer where it printed on to the masking tape I have never used the transparency sheets it should work better
For the process
Tape down the parchment paper to a sheet of paper and print your pattern
Spray a coat of minwax polycrylic clear gloss on your work
Lay your pattern on the pice and tape it down or hold it and burnish the back of the pattern to transfer your image I used a sharpie
Then just lift it off
The polycrylic goes on kind of thick win you scribe your lines in you have to clean your scribe or it will pill up your transfer.
It is not as tuff as other methods it will smuge it you touch it to much
but it is very cheap and easy method
I hope some of you can use this if you have any questions just Haller here is some photos of what I used and the transfers I done
