(See? Snow is good for you.) The next layer is a greeny-yellow, so a transparent blue most likely. The next layer is a bright blue (hopefully), so I'll be using lots of white in it, which is more opaque. No transparent base a'tall. If that doesn't work, I'll print over the same thing again. <br /><br />Longtime readers will remember The Drama of the "Mustard" Stain. ;-) <br />http://brushandbaren.blogspot.com/2009/09/now-where-were-we.html<br /><br />I did learn something from it.Sherrie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967844327055630854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-72705213435963607342011-03-08T09:10:59.487-05:002011-03-08T09:10:59.487-05:00Have you tried letting the yellow dry completely a...Have you tried letting the yellow dry completely and printing the blue without transparent base? Since the ink doesn't absorb into the yellow, you should get a good blue. Printing like this could result in a shiny blue area.To remedy this,lay a piece of newsprint over the wet print and rub to transfer some of the blue to the newsprint. This works pretty well for me.tsmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-9804934438371720322011-03-08T04:44:36.130-05:002011-03-08T04:44:36.130-05:00Would a double layer of blue work?
