I'm sure you're right. Not having a laser printer myself I can't verify and when this article was written it was very rare for people to have laser printers in their homes so it was written for ink jets. Let me know how you go if you decide to give it a try. Hi Angela.

The ink does get onto the paper after a while as the transparency tends to stick to the paper as well. I'm not sure if it is time, heat or humidity or all three that causes it, but they certainly weren't rubbed. Pressed between books, yes, but not rubbed. So I don't see why this technique couldn't work with a laser printer. Perhaps heat, such as from a hair dryer might help it along?

You need to print on the shiny side anyway for this technique. But inkjet printers tend to use a lot of ink and that can really smudge when you press down on your paper. Make sure you have the printer settings on a low ink usage, such as on the draft setting. And if it still smudges, give it a few minutes to dry a little before rubbing it.

I tried it out, but had no luck. I have an Epson inkjet, and the transparency I used is shiny on both sides, so that could also be a reason. what are the brand name of transparency I should look for? This sounds so awesome, so will give it another go. Thanks. Hi, I came across your tip whilst surfing the net, and was so excited, but my joy was short lived. I tried it out, but had no luck.

They typically don't use so much ink. You could give it a try but I would suggest that you need to do your rubbing when the print out is very fresh and the ink hasn't properly set.

Sounds really interesting, since I am about to try some hybrid scrapping ;-) By the way, you have the most interesting blog, visited you before, but now I finally have the time to read a lot more than just the newest entries ;-) Really an old post I am commenting on, but I just wanted to ask if this works with an inkjet printer ?
