Re: Questions about toner transfer method.

2004-10-14 by Phil

You've probably got a decent transfer.  etch it, dano.

For inkjet paper brands, look in the database section.  There are a
number of inkjet papers people have reported good results with.  I've
used 2 brands, Georgia Pacific InkjetPlus+ and, iirc, office max
inkjet paper.  Both did well though I am very very happy with the
Georgia Pacific stuff.   Inkjet papers are coated to prevent the ink
from soaking into the paper and blooming.  Its basically regular
inkjet paper - I'd bet any brand will work fine.  Just make sure is
says "formulated for inkjet printers" or similar.  Don't use laser
printer, copier or general purpose paper. Typically <$4 for a ream of 500.
