FAQ
Do I need to buy graphite
or carbon paper?
or carbon paper?
Absolutely Not.....
As you can see in the above photo, the image is printed directly on the transfer medium...
No carbon or graphite paper is needed!

If you need instruction regarding the painting of your project, I suggest you purchase one of our floorcloth or mural 'kits', which does include complete, step-by-step instructions, several photos and a very complete list of suggested art supplies as well as the pre-printed canvas......
How many times can I use
one pattern?
Typically, you will get your
best results from the first use, since once the medium is transferred
to your painting surface, it is in effect, removed from the transfer paper.
However....if you are really careful, you could probably get as many as 3 or 4 uses out of one pattern.
Not only that, you should save the pattern to be used as graphite paper for other projects since there will be plenty of medium left, even after 2 or more uses!

What surfaces can the
pattern be transferred to?
Almost any surface will accept
the transfer medium. Matte surfaces, such as primed canvas or walls painted
with either a flat, eggshell or satin finish paint work great.
Anything glossy could be a problem.

Are the patterns easy
enough for beginners?
Sure! If you can trace a line
with a pencil or pen, you can use our patterns.
Painting the transferred design is another matter entirely. THAT depends on your painting experience and the complexity of the design you choose.

Are the patterns appropriate
to be used by experienced artists?
I don't see why not. Many experienced
artists use stencils all the time. Our patterns basically help you jump-start
your project.
Can I sell the finished
product.
Yes....and no.
You can sell the finished mural or floorcloth to clients, in your store or gallery or on your web site.
Most importantly, you cannot copy or reproduce the design for resale of any kind.

A word about the transfer
medium....
The transfer medium is a blue,
chalk-based product and is wax free, unlike some other transfer papers.
As such, it cleans extremely easily.....a damp cloth or paper towel will
remove most traces of the transfer medium....
However, since it is easily removed, well.....it's easily removed....meaning that it's very easy to smudge your lines after you have transferred the image. A little care taken after you transfer the design goes a long way in protecting your design............
