I've been working on my Galloping Goose 'bash' this weekend which included creating a white goose logo transfer - I thought it might show how an
Inkjet White waterslide transfer appeared on a dark background....
1. I captured the original logo from the RGRR Galloping Goose webpage
2. Increased the resolution from 96 to 300dpi in Paint Shop Pro, then cleaned up the pixel blocks.
3. Duplicated and mirrored one of the images and resized them to fit the wagon area
4. After drying time I sprayed with
Testors All Purpose Dullcote and again waited for the coating to dry.
5. After 20 minutes I cut them to approx size, immersed them in warm water (one at a time of course)
and applied them to the wagon side.As I mentioned above, to hide the white edges I try to get a reasonable background match to the wagon colour I'm using.
6. After removing the excess moisture, pressing the transfer into any grooves, etc. and allowing good drying time, I started the weathering/matching process... to be completed later (n.b. the transfer isn't damaged even with overspray cleaning with white spirit - I want the paint runs in the groves to imply wear & tear but they would clean completely if required)
Hope this will give you some idea of the results using the white backed transfer material - I find the best setting on Epson Inkjet printer is
Photo Quality Glossy Film
