Experimentation of transfer print on paper box

Transfer print was done on paper box. A thin layer of acrylic medium was applied on printed image and pressed on paper box. It was left for a few hours before rubbing with wet cloth to remove the paper.

Experimentation 1:

Figure 1: The image was ripped of the paper box

Figure 2: Experimentation failed

Figure 3: Most of the ink remained.

Errors could be due to waiting for long hours before removing the paper. The acrylic was stuck firmly to it. Another error could be the acrylic was mixed with water before applying on paper. The paper box itself absorbs the water so it is hard to make the ink stay on paper box.


Experimentation 2:
