Slide Image Transfers


I got my Daylab 35+ to do slide transfers with.  I only got through three test prints before my polaroid pack imploded on itself, but I am still pretty happy with the results.  The sample picture is using polaroid film on 140 weight watercolor paper.  For fujifilm, a smooth printmaking paper works much better. The key to a good image transfer, however, is to have a good slide to begin with.  Hope you enjoy!

I went to go for a walk in the park, ended up at the lake.  This is right outside the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago Illinois.
