Subject: Re: Heating Idea for Toner Transfer Method

Funny you should mention that. I found a small hamburger cooker at a
thrift store. Both sides are flat, black teflon coated. This is
precisely what I was thinking about this.

I was figuring I'll need better temp control than the crude thermostat
in it now, and would need separate temp sensors on each side.

I guess great minds think alike. ;')

However, if you have a laminator it is made to heat both sides. My
laminator is an older model that works great for its intended purpose,
but just isn't up to the task of toner onto copper, at least not with
the toner in my Lexmark/IBM 4029.
