How do you go about attaching this to the rest of the book cover? This is a piece specifically for the front, how do you attach it to the cloth used for the spine and back cover?
-
I have been wondering if this is possible. Thanks for the info.
-
Wow, so lovely! Can any color laser printer be used with this paper? Also, the a4r Magictouch 3.1 paper isn't easy to find anymore. Do you recommend anything similar?
-
Very helpful, thank you.
-
Thanks just what I ment. Only I don’t see how you use this cover. Because you need double plus the back. How do you print then?
-
The inkjet method looks beautiful! Had no idea you could do this. For larger books where an A4 won't be sufficient to cover both covers, and you end up needing two separate pieces of bookcloth - any suggestions on how to attach or seamlessly blend the two pieces together?
-
I did the inkjet method a couple of years ago, and then had a call from my mother in law who was upset because she'd picked the book up with wet hands and the ink spread immediately. Do you do anything else to 'fix' the ink? In the end I bought iron on cotton washable fabric from Gecko Paper and rebound it which worked great! Added bonus I was able to iron it onto the boards so no additional glue required.
-
Beautifully done. Question for you, can I use the laser transfer method on say a fabric like moleskin or imitation leather? Thanks so much 🙏🏾
-
What kind of paper is that that you used with the heat press? Where do you buy it? Is it recommended or required to have those under and over the transfer paper for the heat press?
-
How do you finish the raw edge on the left hand side? I'm trying to figure out how to print a book cover and weighing my options. I love this idea, but do you use fray-chek or something on that raw edge where the printed picture meets the spine? I worry the edge will come up if the book is well loved. I'd love any advice or thoughts! :)
-
Just bear in mindn mind that inkjet prints fade in the light, and quite quickly at that!
-
Does inktank printer work instead of inkjet?
-
If I want to use the inkjet method for a book cover can I use a long enough book cloth to get the print for the front and back covers done at one time? Or how did you attach the two separate cloth covers since in this video you only printed one side.
-
Thanks. Would using a canvas setting be an option for inkjet photo printers?
-
is it possible to print onto a linen book cover thats already attached to a book?
-
When using the transfer paper, did you find that the "blank" part of the paper (or in other words: the areas that did not get printed with an image) also get transferred onto the fabric? Is that what is supposed to happen, or is just the image supposed to be transferred? Because I keep getting these shiny coats around my images when I try to transfer them onto my book linen.
-
Hi. I have a inkjet printer. I am looking to print on linen which I can then embroider on. I saw you had a piece of paper on the reverse of the fabric. How did you attach this? Can you remove it after it has printed?
-
what thin fabric is this? im also in the uk, do you have a link? i struggle to find thin linen fabric with paper backing!
