Lazertran Techniques

Lazertran Silk and Polymer Clay. Fast, Easy and Beautiful Image Transfers, Every Time!

1. Have your image printed in reverse using a laser printer. It will not work with an inkjet printer.
2. Condition white polymer clay according to brand guidelines until it can be easily worked. Smooth or roll clay out to a flattened shape of desired size (depending on size of image you have selected)
3. Cut or tear out image from sheet of Lazertran Silk and place it, image facing down, on the flattened surface of the polymer clay. It is important to have the image fully touching the surface of the clay at every point to avoid incomplete transfer. Smooth the image down firmly into the clay
4. Allow the Lazertran image to stay in contact with the polymer Clay for about 30 minutes
5. Place the clay with the Lazertran Silk image attached into a bowl of water. Leave for about 2 minutes
6. Swish the water and the paper backing will float off the polymer clay leaving the full image attached to the clay
7. Allow to dry. Bake clay in oven at temperature and time directed by individual manufacturer. Cool and seal with acrylic gloss medium or polymer clay varnish if desired

Tip: If you wish to make an image transfer onto a rounded or domed surface, leave the clay with the image on for a few hours then you can shape the piece without the colors cracking.
