I have the gel, but forgot how to do the transfers. Anyone have directions and advice?

I looked through all of my altered books and somehow could not find anything. If you are using Omi Gel try googling it.
Here is a blurb I found on the web using Acrylic Medium: What you are looking for is available in Art Stores...Acrylic medium...and the technique is similar to Decoupage "Application Description The transfer process requires brushing or pouring a thin layer of acrylic medium over the image to be transferred. After complete drying, soak the coated image in water and then remove the paper backing of the image. This leaves a transparent or translucent image imbedded within the acrylic medium." ....
Here is an article I found online:

Thanks! Exactly what I'm looking for--I couldn't remember if I needed color copies or could just print on the printer. Looks like ink jet will work with gel!
