Anyone have a color laser and an old sheet and an iron?




I never tried it... I have with inkjets and photo transfer paper but results were never that great--the photo paper always had a yellowy look to it which got transferred to the garment... plus a rubbery feel.

I remember many years ago reading an article in Computer Shopper I believe... they took artwork or photos and photocopied them with a Canon or HP copier I think... they use the same principle as laser printers--the "ink" gets heated and fused... I think they were dealing with just grayscale images and copy machines back then... but I believe they just reversed the type or image and photocopied it and used one of those bigger square T-shirt irons and iron it on--the iron reheats the toner and fuses it to the cotton I thought...

Do they make photo transfer paper for laser printers? I thought maybe they'd heat up the adhesive and gunk up the laser printer...
