Uneven transfer leads to variations in print quality, no matter how advanced the setup is.

Ink emulsion lift (with incorporated layer of gold leaf) on synthetic media. Seven layers of ink transfer medium in total. More info in alt text. #printmaking #inktransfer
A gold monotone image of a tree trunk surrounded by leaves and branches. The image was made using multiple layers of transfer medium and a layer of gold leaf which were applied to an inkjet transparency. After drying, the whole thing was soaked in water for a few hours causing the "emulsion" to float off (like a Polaroid emulsion would). The emulsion was then applied to some white synthetic media using yet another layer of transfer medium to glue it to the synthetic surface.
