- CabinetDoorGuys commented on CabinetDoorGuys's instructable Image Transfer to Wood
The paper only "carries" the ink. There is no need for any transfer medium onto raw wood as the wood soaks up the ink.
No stain, only a spray clearcoat. I like spray lacquer because it dries very quickly and goes on well. I would not apply any finish over the ink that needs to be rubbed or brushed on.
I used the standard "good" setting, nothing special at all. Every printer is different, I would experiment a bit with the settings to see what works best for yours. The "photo" settings seemed to apply too much ink and was more apt to smudge with my printer.
Mine have not faded at all and several have been in sunny spots. The clearcoat does have UV protectant though. Most any wood will darken as it ages though, giving less contrast.
