Actually, I've tried it with a citizen printiva 700. Didn't work very well. The copper is a huge heatsink and I couldn't get the printhead hot enough to transfer the wax. Maybe preheating the copper clad would have helped. Anyway seemed to be a bust with that one anyway (for me). I'm certainly not discouraging anyone else from trying. :') Heck, anyone near Pocatello, ID USA is welcome to take this one and try to make it work... hehe...
