vacuum transfer? (was Re: Questions about toner transfer method.

2004-10-19 by Phil

this is an interesting idea.  Has anyone tried it?  The bag should
stand up to the temperatures needed.  It just remains to heat the
bag/board assembly.  You could just iron the whole assembly though it
would be a sorry mess if you overshot the temperature.  I wonder if an
infra-red heater bulb could do it?

you can put the board and the artwork in a Reynolds Aluminum 'Bake 'n
Bag", pull a vacuum and set the iron on it.  That should generate much
more force (and much more unifom force at that) than you could ever
generate by hand.
