Classes Photo Transfer Locate the copy shops in your area that have color laser copiers or inkjet printers and available scanners. The easiest transfer for beginners to learn is from inkjet. Photographs can be placed on the scanner, fed into the computer, and printed onto a special transfer paper.

While it is true that students could do this on their own, most feel more comfortable with direction and demonstration.
