Bleeding colors while image transfers are drying

greenspun.com : LUSENET : polaroid transfers : One Thread

I thought that I had this under contol but...

My transfers edges are clean after I make the transfer but they bleed after I have washed them and am letting them drying. Any suggestions on how to stop this? Thanks.

How are you drying them?

Gail,

I have been trying to dry them on racks. Then when I see that they're oozing color, I use a hair dryer set on the low setting. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if this is too simple for your problem, but I was taught to use tissue around the edges to soak up the ooze! It works as long as you stay on top of it while its first drying since it will ooze a few times!!
