I went to Staples to get their lovely store brand ink jet tranparency film to do some transfers but they didn't have any. So, I bought this instead: 3M-CG3460.
Not EVEN conducive to doing the traditional wet transfer where one lays the gelatin side of the transparency on to a sheet of damp paper causing the image to transfer to the paper in a very water color sort of way. It seems that the 3M transparency has an ink receptor film that isn't gelatin but rather some sort of micro-porous plastic. BUT, Never to be subdued by product that doesn't work the way I want...I came up with a technique to part that silly little film layer from the plastic backing and adhere it to paper.
Results....as sort of modernish polaroid emulsion transfer image.
