I am attempting to do my first transfers and have made little progress in past few days. I am hoping someone will be be to tell me what I am doing wrong.
My material is Tractor Supply cold rolled steel, sanded with 120 grit to remove scale then buffed with a scotch brite wheel. This is then wiped down with denatured alcohol, washed with dish soap, dried, then wiped down with 100% acetone. Just before applying a thin coat of cowboy transfer fluid I use clear packing tape to remove any debris.
My printer is an HP8710 officejet, I have tried various settings, currently set to normal quality & max dpi. I am printing onto Pictorico TPU-100 transparency film.
I have tried varying dry times from a few minutes to 24 hours. The best I can get, if I burnish hard enough, is to make the back ground hazy. Then I can just barely make out the lines in the negative space.
