Well these were raw tests with the ribbon and my own heating, just to
try it out.. But the dropouts for a large area etc are pretty specific
to how lasers print, every filled background Alps etc print I've ever
seen was completely consistent, unless there was an intentional gradient
etc. In general they look like you just ripped a HQ picture out of a
magazine, no doubt they're well above what's needed to get a good
board.. The printers I had wouldn've been terrible from their exact
design, not to mention Mac only..

Wax transfer should certainly print to a foil page, laminate it down
to a blank board and I'm sure it'd work without even testing it..

I'm just now getting over my sore throat that turned into a head cold
from New Year's, should get some testing etc going soon..
