Lisa R. Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I made a "stained" glass panel today for my conservatory door. I did the design in photoshop and printed it on an inkjet printer onto a transparency. The colors in the gif file look very intense but they need to be otherwise they look washed out on the transparency. Lisa R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molmrath Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 That looks great! I love the pattern. I've used the transparencies to make stained glass windows for my halfscale castle. I just need to get them installed now. It worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ooooh! That's pretty!! I've done the transparency windows, but I use jpegs instead of making my own images. You made it look soooooooo nice that I've got to give it a try. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyJudi Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 They look fabulous. I would love some stained glass windows for my Glencroft, but not sure if my printer will do transparencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggi Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Very pretty. I have Photoshop, but haven't played with it enough to be worth the money I paid for it. It is confusing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeninky Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Lisa I love it! I am curious about how you know to size to fit your windows? Might be a dumb question.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet-gal Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 That's beautiful - well done I find Photoshop quite hard to understand what with all the 'layers' & stuff; it would take me quite a long time, working through tutorials, to be able to use it properly & I just don't feel I have the spare time - I suppose I'd rather be doing other things. When I've tried to print stained glass on transparency paper on my Canon printer ( on the correct printer setting ) the ink just sits on the paper in sad-looking blobs Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybee Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 DOH!!! Most excellent job on the stained glass. I would have never of thought of using transparency paper - I just remember my teacher using that wax pen writing math problems on it...... hmmm maybe thats why i could not think of it - the fear of algebra brrrrrr Such a great idea tho I may have to try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 When I've tried to print stained glass on transparency paper on my Canon printer ( on the correct printer setting ) the ink just sits on the paper in sad-looking blobs Jackie, the problem may be the type of transparency, not your printer. Look on the box of transparencies and see if it says whether they are for ink jet or laser. The sheets I have are for laser and take print from my B&W laser printer just fine. But color print from the ink jet just sits there, doesn't dry. I don't want to spend more $$ for ink jet transparencies, so I print out the lead lines on the laser printer and fill in the blanks with Wal-Mart's "stained glass" paint (made for plastic).

Thanks, Kathie - that could be the problem; a friend gave me these sheets, so I don't know what they're for. I'll try some specially for ink-jet printers. Thanks, again, for your input Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
