- make sure you dilute your bleach or alcohol
- use 80-100gsm paper
- use an inkjet printer
- pick bright images with lots of colours, those produce the most interesting results.
- get creative with how you apply the liquid solution to the image. Flicking and splatting or dropping bits of solution on the page create more abstract results.

1- Print your image on a piece of paper that is between 80 and 100gsm (this is regular copier paper).
2- Place the image print side up on paper towel or old newspaper.
3- Using your chosen liquid solution, wet the image in whichever fashion you like. This could be flicking the liquid, dropping the water, painting shapes or totally submerging the image.
4- Once you are happy with the outcome of your transaquatype you can hang the print up to dry.
