Using acrylic medium results in an emulsion transfer, like the well-known polaroid transfer (transferring the 'skin' of an well developed polaroid to a carrier).
If you want an image transfer (like the one in polaroid transfers: before developing is complete, transfer the wet 'RGB-layers' to a damp carrier) you have to prepare the inkjet sheet with Golden Acrylic Flow release and then transfer to a carrier.

Hopefully in the next half a year,
