LAZERTRAN SILK

Have your own design, image from a book or even patterns from magazines copied, in reverse onto Lazertran paper. Then follow the instructions below.

Instructions for use.

1. Iron silk flat.

2. Set iron hot enough for the toners to stick to the silk.

3. Lay silk over your image and iron until the silk is stuck to the image.

4. Place the silk in clean warm water, paper down and leave until the paper falls off.

5. Lift the silk carefully from the water, lay the image face down and lightly iron with a cool iron till dry.

6. When dry, place a sheet of silicon baking parchment over the image.

7. Iron through the baking parchment then allow to cool. Peel off.

This method produces a beautiful result and can be rinsed in warm water but will not take a vigorous wash. Always iron with low setting through silicon baking parchment.

LAZERTRAN SILK NEW METHOD

Lazertran Silk can now be used to put images onto almost any surface using 3M Photo Mount Spray. Just copy your image onto lazertran Silk in reverse or mirror, cut to size and then spray an even coat of Photo mount onto the image. Press onto the surface and make sure it is well stuck. Iron with a medium heat iron if using on cloth. Wet backing paper, allow to soak for about one minute and slide off.

This method can be used on Voile, plastics, wood and in decoupage to put images down without thickness. It is also very good for interior decoration on walls etc.
