I've seen people doing this, but it only take 3 mins. to dry and no overnight. Seems a lot easier. I presume it's the difference in the type of gel you are using. Why not do the fast kind?
@lwarteman - we have another video by our tech support team that shows the over night technique. It's personal preference. The over night technique takes a bit more rubbing, you can't peel the paper as easily as Melanie shows. However, with the gel still being soft in the fast technique the image is more vulnerable and you have to be more careful how you rub. No difference in the gels used.
any chance this will work on glass? been trying...and failing miserably , just want to know if its something I'm doing wrong or is its not working since glass is non porous
@obesehairydog - it would depend on the notebook paper, but considering that the acrylic gel recommended is waterborne, it's likely to make notebook paper warp. This technique works well on canvas (as shown) because it holds up to water and bears the stress of removing the paper. The only paper I could see that working with would be a 100% Cotton watercolor paper, and I would test that first (testing first is always a good idea)

Can this be done with color lazer jet prints?

@maxi28 Hi Maxi28 -
Yes, anything that is toner based, such as xerox's and color laser prints, should work. If you have any other questions, of course, just ask!
