Magical Manipulating Pens

The Chartpak Blender Pen Lets You Transfer Pictures to Other Surfaces

— April 2, 2014 — Art & Design
When you find yourself in possession of a boring piece of wood furniture or cooking tool, you can bring it to life with the ‘Chartpak’ blender pen. Simple to use, all you do is flip a old photograph onto a surface and saturate the back of the image with your blender pen. Once the picture is fully saturated you can remove the image to see your picture transferred over.

This pen is perfect for creating your very own artsy wood art pieces. When you have a plain wood desk that you want to personalize with memories, this photo transfer pen is the best tool to have. When you do use the ‘Chartpak’ blender pen, you have to remember that your photos will be transferred in reverse, so any photo with words in it will show up backwards.
Trend Themes
1. Photo Transfer Pens - The trend of using pens with special ink to transfer photos onto various surfaces opens up opportunities for personalized and unique art creations.
2. Personalized Wood Art - The trend of creating custom wood art pieces using photo transfer pens allows individuals to add a personal touch to their plain furniture or accessories.
3. Reverse Photo Transfers - The trend of reverse photo transfers using pens like 'Chartpak' blender pen enables people to transfer images onto surfaces with ease, but with the caveat that the images will appear reversed.
Industry Implications
1. Arts and Crafts Supplies - The arts and crafts supplies industry can capitalize on the trend of photo transfer pens by creating and marketing innovative pens and inks specifically designed for photo transfers.
2. Home Decor - The home decor industry can utilize the trend of personalized wood art to offer customizable furniture pieces, accessories, and decor items that allow customers to showcase their memories and add a unique touch to their living spaces.
