    Laser toner transfer discovery

    Not a major discovery, but an important one nonetheless. My Canon ImageClass 1620 with 121 toner transfers weaker than my old Canon printer that used 120 toner. On a hunch I bought an aftermarket toner cartridge on Amazon for $30 (vs $175 for Canon brand) and it prints and transfers beautifully...

    Question: Andu Engraver

    It'd be awful if one party had eternal exclusivity. In the big scheme of things it's for the betterment of society and mankind that inventions ultimately fall into public domain.

    Question: Andu Engraver

    Need A Better Microscope!!!

    I have never used a headrest. When I started with a scope in '82 there were no stands available with enough reach for bench use, so we had to build our own stands which didn't have headrests.

    Ron Smith in Monteagle May 2

    I'm glad you're doing this, Scott. As time goes by I'm seeing more and more newcomers to the engraving scene who have never heard of Ron, Winston, Lynton, Kornbrath, Nimschke and other greats and past greats of the engraving world. Sadly, if you're not on Instagram or Facebook, it appears that...

    Dumb question: backhand vs forehand

    Here’s an illustration that can help. It looks way more complicated than it actually is, and it’s difficult to explain in an understandable way for someone learning to do it. I hope this helps others since you appear to have figured it out.
