Need help (inkjet)

[PaulE]

I just bought at Staples an HP officejet Pro 9015e inkjet printer. It works well with Tom White's formula and the transparencies he provides. The ink is a pigment ink cartridge HP962.

I just got an HP envy 5660 and am using #62 ink cartridge and acetone however the transfer isn't happening. I've prepared my surface with 600 grit, cleaned with alcohol and acetone then tried transfer with no luck. Do i need to shellac, modge podge or hairspray my surface?

HP Envy 5660 and #62 ink

I'm using this setup but haven't had a successful transfer. Perhaps I'm missing a step, I have my process later in this thread, if you have time can you see if I'm missing something?

I use tom white's transfer medium and it worked very well with HP62 ink. The transfer medium is applied to the bare metal.

Antipop, you are mixing apples with oranges.
The 5660 and #62 ink will do great transfers using a transparency film and Tom White's Transfer Magic solution or a Prismacolor pen#PM-121 and burnishing the image to metal.
For the Acetone transfer from paper or parchment paper you need an image from a LAZER printer.
Two entirely different transfer methods.

John you are right, I misinformed myself about the printer I am using. I finally had a successful transfer this morning and have been going at it.

Thanks Antipop, it's easy to get confused with all this stuff at first.
Glad you got a good transfer........it's like magic when it goes right.
Hope you get many more good ones.

Hi I am new here hope this helps . I use Goof Off super glue remover and it works like a charm with hp ink . The 4 oz can is just the right size and with the lighter fluid style lid I don't need a brush .Ps I use plan paper .
