Image Transfer Solution

Image Transfer Solution is a liquid medium used to transfer paper-based images onto metal and many other non-porous surfaces, including pieces made from fired Aida Art Clay silver clay or Mitsubishi PMC precious metal clay. The original surface shows through the unprinted part of the image, creating a semi-transparent, timeless, soft, ethereal look.

Image Transfer Paper ia a special paper designed to be used with Image Transfer Solution. Print your own image, using a laser toner printer, not an inkjet. Trim it to size, and you're ready.

Matte the surface evenly with some fine wet and dry or other mild abrasive. Apply the ITS with a small brush, press the image onto the surface, remove any excess solution, and dry it. After drying, heat the piece at 160°C for 30 minutes. After cooling, soak the piece in water for 10 minutes, remove the paper, and clean up the edges.


Image Transfer Solution is non-toxic, and cleans off with soapy water. Full instructions are included with the product. ITS has been developed by Sherri Haab and is made in the US.

To play or pause the programme, just click the Cherry Heaven player. To restart the programme, before waiting for it to end, refresh the page in your browser. This programme lasts about 5 minutes 03 seconds.


Cherry Heaven TV has encoded the programmes to a net-standard FLV format of 320px x 240px. Other parameters have been set to achieve a practical balance of audio and video quality set against a likely data-streaming rate.

However, they're all over 1MB so, if you're not on a fast internet connection, they might pause and continue occasionally if the data stream can't keep up with the demands of the player.

You can adjust the volume by clicking the loudspeaker icon, bottom right in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. Find this now and check that it's not set very low before you play any of the programmes.
