Re: Heating Idea for Toner Transfer Method

2003-12-31 by gmanca101

It helps to have someone on the same page! See, I dont have a
laminator. I was thinking about purchasing one but the problem is
that 4 passes seems way too much movement in the images. I think
that maybe buying a thrift grill and changing the thermostat is a
good idea.
