Exciting News Alert!
Introducing our latest breakthrough: a magical technique to effortlessly transfer vibrant patterns onto a myriad of wax melts! Say hello to a world where creativity knows no bounds!
Testing (we always updating this technique stay tuned )
The Transfer sheets (cocoa butter)
These sheets are quite delicate but once transferred onto the wax its pretty durable . you can rub your finger over the surface with decent pressure without damage
They are made from cocoa butter so they work well with the wax.

Just search blank printable chocolate transfer sheets if you are not in the UK
Printing
Utilize an A4 printer specifically designed for edible use, as it uses food-safe ink.

You can also convert some (new) never had normal ink in printer. This is done with the eco tank printers. There are many YouTube vidoes on this.
Although it is possible to use a standard printer, I have not yet received confirmation on the safety of the ink for melting purposes. We are currently looking into this matter. It would be great to make use of your personal printer. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any printing issues or harm to the printer. Proceed with this approach at your own risk.
Print Settings (for best results)
Use a gloss paper setting (it doesn't really matter which one it must just b gloss)
Highest quality printing (standard quality wont give you the best results)
Bump up your saturation of your images before printed by about 10% have a play.
Don't print borderless , the sheets are the weakest at the edges and can have little chips and nicks one them. that is normal I think its how they cut them during production. See picture below. This more drastic example but some of your sheets might have them.
The Moulds
We create moulds that work well with this technique links below (UK only)
Please feel free to source other mould alternative , we are not product pushers . we are happy to advise how to get them in other countries or if you have your own mould maker we are share.
Must be made of silicone
Have a decent thickness to the edge and cavities to create a seal.
No base , a whole straight through to touch the transfer sheet
You can use solid moulds using our other method found here Link
How to use them
Prepare your sheets by designing and printing them, then allow them to dry and cure thoroughly for a few hours. remember to mirror any images with text.
Position and align your mould or moulds on the transfer sheet ensuring they are placed on a flat surface with complete contact. Any gap between the transfer edge and the mould may result in leaking.
Create your wax and scent mixture, following the specifications of your waxes and ensuring you pour at the appropriate temperatures.
Gently pour the mixture into the mould cavities.
Allow sufficient time for the mixture to cure completely before removing from the mould.
Release the wax melts from the back side of the mould.
There may be a slight excess of cocoa butter transfer around the edge; lightly run your finger along the wax melt to remove any extra transfer.
Appreciate your wonderful creations.
