Re: Laser toner transfer & "blender pen" transfer

2003-10-27 by wheedal99

I'm not sure that necessarily sounds like the transport medium; more 
a technique issue.  If you use the wrong heat/pressure it is fairly 
easy to hose up toner transfer --even with the specialty coated 
papers (pnp and others).  I've found that using a paper laminator 
solves a great many headaches using this medium.  As for me, I 
*prefer* magazine stock; but a lot of other paper types can be made 
to work.  YMMV; but you need to find a way to get some consistancy 
with your method --paper laminators can be had cheap these days.
