So after online reading I ended up printing on wax paper, same can be done with freezer paper, so they say, shiny side up. A bit of a process but it works.. ;) I just cut a piece of the wax paper the size of a normal sheet and used a glue stick to glue the edges to said normal sheet and fed it to the printer. Then just placed the cut out pic on the cork and viola. Came out with a bit of stipple

Very sorry guys I should have been more clear. I am trying to transfer from paper that has been printed on to cork. There is a video or 2 out describing this. The link I posted was the only one I could find where someone had trouble. Has to be my ink or the paper.

I have a ink jet printer. And I can't get the ink to transfer to the cork. Tried 2 types of alcohol and acetone. Does anyone know if laser jet ink solves this? I've read this : but there wasn't any follow up.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to post a pic. I am registered at the photo site and can login fine. But once there I see nothing to upload a photo. Looked in all the categories also.

Thanks everyone. I guess I can try the CP. Ive tried heat and I'm now wondering about using heat after removing the sacrificial threads.Gonna try and figure out how to post a photo on here.

In doing tiger wraps, 3 threaded, 2 sacrificial, I get them looking really nice but applying epoxy to the top threads I seem to move a few threads. Nothing that cant be salvaged but would like to avoid this. I have tried tightening up the thread that's staying on the final wrap. If I get it to say it's because it's tight but then have trouble burnishing for effect. Any advice ?
