In the store we are always getting asked on how to do this or that, and one of the exciting questions we get to answer is how to do an image transfer with acrylic gel. When an artist is looking to replicate an image without having to painstakingly detail it with the tiny 20/0 brushes this is a great alternative. It also allows for great layering textures to be applied to the art. The surprising part about answering this question would be that nearly any acrylic gel will work.
All an artist will need for an image transfer will be a LASER print (not inkjet!) and an acrylic gel of some sorts.
Golden's Gac800, Self-leveling gel, and soft gel gloss are some of the best for clarity and smoothness.
Fluid Matte Medium would be best for the artist that wants a foggy translucency to their images.
Golden has a great link on their website detailing the process for artists here!
