Question
Can I use an inkjet printer for coaster image transfers?
Answer
No, inkjet prints will not work for wet image transfers. Inkjet ink is water-based, so it smears the moment it touches Mod Podge or any wet transfer medium.
- Use a laser printer for the Mod Podge transfer method, since laser toner is heat-set and water-stable.
- If you only have an inkjet, switch methods and use adhesive vinyl decals cut on a craft cutter instead.
- Ceramic-safe waterslide decal paper made for inkjet is another workaround if you seal it well.
