ABSOLUTE BEST Way to Transfer Any Photo to Wood Quickly!
This video provides easy and quick instructions on how to use the absolute best photo transfer paper in the world. This is my RixCanDoIt Quick Transfer paper. It is the absolute best way to transfer any photo or image to wood quickly and easily.
You can use this paper to transfer photos printed from your printer onto surfaces like wood with no rubbing or needing to wet. And it will transfer in just ONE MINUTE!
HOWEVER...the conditions must be just right. The wood surface must be clean and smooth, the gel must tack up and not be too wet or completely dry for a non-wetting peel. Takes practice. INSTEAD, my preferred method is to completely dry with a hair dryer for 2-4 minutes then wet the back for 30 seconds. Use a clean paper towel to dab up the excess moisture and then peel. You'll get excellent results virtually every time! You have options.
It can be used on other surfaces as well, though you will need to test. I've done fabric, canvas and paper journals, wood and tile.
There have been some updates in methods available. All this is spelled out at the website.

Hi Rix, Thank you for this amazing work. This is hands down the best transfer paper. Works like magic, there is nothing like it on the market.
Thank you! Cheers! Appreciated your email too!
Edited to my comment below. I just read down and I figured out how to buy the paper. Just placed an order for 50 sheets. I'm so excited, thank you for this video and the paper. Can not wait to do this!
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for your support! :)
Very interesting.. Thank you
The high tech timer is my favorite part
Thanks Rix, really great presentation.. I enjoyed the music,but, I enjoy music,most any kind.. I look forward to more videos
Awesome, thank you!
Don't forget to reverse-print the image before printing to wood, if the left-right orientation of the layout is important.
Correct. Like words. Use a Horizontal swap in photo editing programs or 'mirror' in most print setups. I prefer to do this in my software, Affinity Photo.
Thank you
Beautiful job
Thank you! Cheers!
How can we get this paper? This is awesome, thank you for showing us!
I just ordered some from the link they shared. 30 sheets for 25$ after shipping
Thanks! :-)
Do you have any tips that would help me succeed in transferring a photo on a cleaned gourd? They are never perfectly flat and to get it really light and clean I need to sand beneath the skin of the gourd . That will make the wood there very soft and porous. Wondering if it's possible to get a good result with these problems... Hope so I ordered the paper and I'm determined to try. ;o)
Considering I've never transferred to a gourd before I really cannot say. If I had a gourd I'd do some experimenting. What I know is that for surfaces that are questionable, there are under-coatings that can be applied to provide an acceptable surface. For example, one of my videos shows transferring onto a rough shiny surface by first putting down a layer of tacky glue (with white paint mixed in it so the white of the image would show through). Perhaps something like that would help with a gourd?
Hi rix 🙂 this is amazing thank you, i am planning on purchasing this paper to print one of my parrots photos onto my kitcken cuboard :) id just like to say thank you for this video, im glad i came across it :)
Sounds great! Thanks for watching.
thanks, does this method apply to glass, ceramic, aluminium and cardboard surfaces or each surface has a different method and materials?
It applies to ANY material that you are able to glue regular paper to, and when dried, you can't peel off. So my paper allows you to be able to peel off easily leaving behind the image.
Nice! Does the colors show white or is the white going to turn into brown because of the wood color?
If your printer does not print white but uses the paper's color instead for white (which the majority do), then you're not going to be transferring white because there is no white to transfer. The color of whatever it is you are transferring to is going to show where the 'white' would be. If you want white to show, you can paint your item white first. :)
nice choice on the car
Well, after my mod podge transfer fiascos before Thanksgiving, that ruined 2 of my possible Christmas craft show sellables - I'm about to switch to gel medium. Can't believe I never heard of that. Hopefully it works, and I won't be nervous, or reluctant to print words, and things backwards, anymore. Was about to just transfer via mod podge with the items printed regularly& just press onto the mod podge as is.
And we're talking about the RixCanDoIt transfer paper w/ Gel Medium. Works with Mod Podge also, although being a wetter glue it is best to first protect the image with a light dusting of clear coat first.
Do you have to be very careful handling the paper after you print the photo and while installing in the laser printer
No. You handle it like any other sheet of printer paper. Just print on the correct side. Once printed, it acts like any other kind of printout. It won't smear if you touch it. You can stack it and save it for transfer later.
@@RixCanDoit thanks for the quick response
Greetings ... Do you offer this paper in a larger size than 8.5 x 11? I'm looking for 20 x 24.
No, sorry
Is this transfer paper available to buy if I'm in the UK?
Yes
Received the quick transfer paper yesterday, reading the instructions that came with the paper. It’s recommended that be sure to dry completely. The video shows you wait one minute then start peeling the paper off which is correct
You need to dry it completely. I'm an expert. Once you become expert in using the paper, you'll be able to do a wet transfer in less than a minute for some applications.
READ THE DESCRIPTION AREA FOR DETAILS ON GETTING THIS PAPER. TY! What I've demonstrated here is how you can use my Quick Transfer paper to make a transfer to a smooth clean wood surface in just under a minute. This is just one of several methods on how to use this paper. If you have any questions about this paper, or need assistance, the place to ask me is by direct email. Trying to assist by replying to comments on this video is too difficult. Thank you! Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video. I've created a new KZhead channel dedicated solely to image transfers.

Where do I get the gel you used? Please
Online. It's just Gel Medium.
Which gel you apply on wood first?
I used Gel Medium Matte.
Does it need to peel off within minutes? I’m asking because I think this would be a cool surprise to mail to my daughter and have her peel it off. Is that possible?
No. It can be peel off later. What I have found though is that if you wait days, you may want to make sure it is thoroughly moistened before you peel off.
@@RixCanDoit thank you so much! Going to order this paper and try it out.
Which paper you apply on wood pls reply me
Please see description on video.
Any alternatives because Amazon does not have that product available
Amazon does not have 'what' product?
Do you have to use a laser printer? Will Inkjet work?
Inkjets do not provide as good a transfer as Laser, and will also cause the paper to 'stick' requiring extra effort to wet and carefully scrap off. I would not recommend it, but it does work to a less degree than Laser. With the Laser, you get a deeper color and easy peel off. So I do not recommend Inkjets although some choose to anyway.
Can the paper be used more. Than once
You do not reuse used sheets.
what is gel medium? where can i get those
arts crafts store, walmart, amazon, etc. Search the inter-web for your area.
Michaels craft store sells it. Made by Liquitex
How can I buy the paper or were plz
You find all the details in the description box of the video. It's through our website.
What gel is used?
Matte Gel Medium.
What is that gel?
Gel Medium. Like Liquidtex. Matte.
any recommendations on how to do this without pulling pieces of the image off (remaining on the transfer paper)? let dry for longer perhaps and then re-wet and peel? looking for the most accurate image transfer as possible...
Depends. If you are referring to the Quick Transfer Paper demonstrated in this video, follow the instructions such as those found in the multiple videos at the webpage where you purchased and the letter you received inviting you to email me directly if you need any assistance. As far as suggestions using a method or other type of paper, I would not be the best person to answer that but rather the person who made the video you learned the method from. You may want to ask under those videos. Using the Quick Transfer Paper does not pull the image off unless there was no glue/gel there to begin with. Anywhere you lay down the gel medium (glue), once dried, will hold the image. Then with the Quick Transfer Paper you simply moisten it, dab off excess, and peel it off like butter! 🙂
So where do you buy the paper?
Teresa Garcia Did you bother to watch the video to the end or read the description area?
You buy it at rixcandoit.com.
What kind of paper
@@nickycasanova2825 gez, do any of you read or watch the video? It’s all about the paper he sells!
@@jafallica I like to say it is all about the paper I make available to those who may want it. This paper was created for my own use, but it only made sense to give other people access to it. It's not how I make my livelihood and its a pain to make because it's all manual labor. No machines or automation! My wife would love to have our dining room table back. LOL!
What kind of paper and cannot be done on an inkjet
My transfer paper - Laser printer required.
What's the gel ?
Gel medium. That's what it is called.
Ok thanks
What gel???
It's right there in the video. Gel Medium. 1:45 timestamp.
Is this method only for bare wood? Can it be used on painted wood as well? l
Yes. kzhead.info/sun/i6x_iNtwoWaadX0/bejne.html&lc=UgyDzpBobj-hl1dRpVN4AaABAg
I don't have a Laser Printer, only an Inkjet, will that still work?
Sort of. If you use inkjet, it will likely cause the paper to stick and you also won't get the deep rich color the Laser printer provides. Use a Laser printer for excellent color transfer and peel off like butter effect.
I gave it a thumbs up just for the piano music instead of blasting me with loud guitar solos
LOL! I can relate. thanks.
Oh that music. Liked the video, but liked the mute button more.
It's classical music. Gotta get some culture! LOL! :-)
does it have to be a laserjet printer?
YES!
What is this a silent move ??
If you prefer to hear me speak, watch this video --> kzhead.info/sun/bJeFYcmOgXt_fKM/bejne.html
The opposite of a noisy move, what else? 5555555
What paper you use
What do you mean? The video is all about the paper itself and the description shows where to get it. Are you asking what type of paper is used in the manufacturing?
ooh you require a laser printer i see in video?
Yes.
no CC
No CC? All the words are shown in the video itself in English.
The title says No Rubbing then I spent 5 minutes watching him rub it with that roller?
If you understand the 'wet and rub' method many folks do, then you'd know that the 'rubbing' is NOT what is being done with the roller. The roller is meant to press to make good contact. You HAVE to do that no matter the method.
Video wouldn't work
It seems to be working just fine. It might be something on your end or KZhead is having a fit.
The video is working just fine.
No rubbing or wetting.... proceeds with a liquid and a roller
If you are familiar with most transfer methods, they require you to let dry, usually overnight, then you have to wet it and rub off the paper. No wetting means you don't have to wet the paper to remove it. It has nothing to do with the gel medium required to apply the paper.
StigTube06 Seriously dude? Guess we know who left the only thumbs down.
He was referring to a more traditional transfer method, know what you are talking about first before you leave a comment.
Video wouldn't work
It works.
I have the same problem. I'm watching videos all over the place no problems before and after this one came back here to try it again it will not go past where you mirror the image in your photo editor sometimes it makes it to where you look at the dot and put the paper in the printer that's as far as I can ever get like not far past 4 minutes. Every time.
@@chrinamint The video is only 4.5 minutes. So you if you are getting past 4 minutes you've seen the whole video. BTW, the dot on the paper is before 4 minutes, followed by printing, transferring. And based on the other comments, others have seen the whole video as well. I have to think that the issue much be with whatever app you are using to watch it with.
@@RixCanDoit except I'm watching videos all the time on my phone every video before it every video after it has been fine. Your video was the only video that will not play.
As for the 4 minutes I think I was just looking at the total minute thing showing.
