A while ago, Larry Taylor said that he uses the paper that backs up
stickers for his transfer. I tried this. I have an HP1200 at the
office, and it has a folded paper path. The turn appears to be between
the exposure of the paper to the toner, and the fusion of the toner to
the paper. The result was that the toner fell off going around the
roller, and left streaks on the page. You could see the origin of the
streaks at the point where toner was missing from the expected image.
Other than that, this paper looked ideal. It was so slick I could peel
the toner off with my fingers, without marring the paper.
If someone has s a printer that is straight through, and prints on the
top side as the paper goes through, I think that the toner will come off
after the ironing without having to sacrifice the paper. Larry, has
this been your experience? Has anyone else tried this kind of paper?
If someone has a straight paper path laser printer, I can scrounge some
more of this paper and send it to you for experimentation.
Thanks
