[sdiy] LAZERTRAN and modern printers

[Altitude]

The bake on stuff will have problems with newer lasers since they run at
higher temperatures. What I did was to use the inkjet paper but I took it to
get printed at Kinko's on their gorgeous lasers.  It ended up being 4
dollars and the results were wonderful. I don't know how well it will work
on a black background but it would be easy to check since when the inkjet
stuff is wet it the background id clear so you can have a good idea of what
the final product will look like.

Cheers,
Raph

Hi All,

Well, most of the parts are here with some on the way. I have panels and the
rest of the etching supplies are on the way. The only thing remaining before
I can start the "super synth summer" of construction is to decide on a front
panel method.

At this point I'm trying to decide between lazertran and screen printing.

I'm not sure if lazertran will work in my color laser printer. It's a newer
HP model 2605DN. Barring that, I could use the inkjet version, but I'd like
to bake it on as described in various places on the net.
Has anyone either used my printer with lazertran or tried to bake the inkjet
stuff?

The alternative is screen printing. Probably less reliable until I get the
hang of it. Any input on these choices or alternatives that give a good
result without a lot of expense would be appreciated.

All of my panels are black anodized aluminum by the way, so I have to work
with processes that give results on a dark background.

Thanks,
Daryl
