leatheroo Report post Posted March 16, 2014 The method i used for these items was to find a sheet of clear plastic that i could feed into the inkjet printer. I bought the cheapest plastic kitchen cutting mats i could find (two for $2) and cut out an A4 piece. I tried different printer settings and found if set on photo paper, too much ink comes out. I found photo setting for plain paper best. The leather was damp, but not too damp or you get bleed. I slicked the damp leather with a glass slicker. After printing the image on the plastic, transfer to the leather carefully and use a tool to rub the plastic side to help the ink transfer. I let the leather dry and put on a sealer and polished and buffed. The ink seems to stay put! Cheerscaroline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cem Report post Posted March 16, 2014 That's a really cool experiment roo, if your printer uses pigment ink it will be a lot more lightfast than normal leather dye as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
