Tips, Tricks & How-Tos
|
|
To reprint an image with a blender marker, you simply place the printed image you want to transfer on top (and facing) the surface you want to transfer it to.
Quickly coat the back of the piece of paper with the marker, and quickly apply pressure with the marker or another tool. The printed image is then transferred to the next surface. Any visible solvent from the marker will evaporate quickly.
Image transfers with blender markers are not an exact science. Imperfections are to be expected. Too much pressure can force the ink from an image to bleed ... too little pressure will result in the image barely transferring. All make for interesting effects.

The smell is very strong, and can induce a headache quickly. The chemical Xylene used in the blender ... Well this is from Wikipedia,..
"Xylene affects the brain. High levels from exposure for short periods (14 days or less) or long periods (more than 1 year) can cause headaches, lack of muscle coordination, dizziness, confusion, and changes in one's sense of balance. Exposure of people to high levels of xylene for short periods can also cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat; difficulty in breathing; problems with the lungs; delayed reaction time; memory difficulties; stomach discomfort; and possibly changes in the liver and kidneys. It can cause unconsciousness and even death at very high levels."
So be careful..
