Subject: Re: Direct Laser Printing on the cheap

Just as an (interesting?) aside, many years ago, Siemens had a "Cold Fusion" process on their ND3 Laser Printers that they sold from about 1983 onwards. The biggest trouble was that the liquid/gas they used was a Freon derivate that was not good for the world's atmosphere......they then returned to hot fusing......

See here:-

But there are a few different chemicals that will cause the toner to melt.......you just need to experiment....if anyone wishes too!! But don't damage the atmosphere or yourselves please.....
