    I find the combination of oak leaf scroll with oak leaf silhouette background to be interesting.

    Leopard with Procreate changes.

    Sam's comment about stopping before going too far struck home with me. I used to suffer from the going too far syndrome with my paintings. I finally started making myself start asking myself as I got closer to a finish if the painting was to the point that I would not be embarrassed to have it...

    Air pressur and Engraving handpice

    If the filters are after the pressure regulation, you will get less at the engraving point. If the run is too long, you will get less pressure at the engraving point. Pressure will fall a little as soon as you start to use air, so the air pressure reaching the engraving machine needs to be above...

    Sam Alfano's Tips and Tricks

    Yes, that gets you to tips on separate issues, but I went back there today and still did not see a link to Sam's tips and tricks page, nor did I see Sam's info on a couple of subjects that I clicked on.

    Sam Alfano's Tips and Tricks

    Sam, it may be because they don't remember the words to use in the search along with your name. Would it be easy to add a link at the top of the main page for this site OR in the area you use for instructions for newbies, etc.? It came up easily when searching for "Sam Alfano tips", but it did...

    INKS please

    The inkjet transfer method needs pigment inks to work. Many inkjet printers use a pigment black ink and dye colored inks, but some will use pigment for all the inks. However, some inkjets use dye inks for all, so make sure you know which you have. You can use a printer with pigment black ink and...

    DeWalt and Ryobi both have inverters. Whatever your tool brand, check out their website for inverters to see available choices.

    INKS please

    No. I have an Epson that uses the Durabrite inks. I looked for a Model tr4521 and only found a 4520, so I don't know what the model you are considering does. I use a graphics program for flipping images.

    INKS please

    That printer uses pigment based black ink and dye based color inks. You need pigment based ink for transfer using transparencies. So it should work for black only. If you also want to be able to transfer color (for leaf outlines, etc., to keep them contrasted from scroll lines), you will need a...

    Announcement: New PULSEGRAVER announcement

    If I understand what I see and hear on the video correctly, the TOPOFF converts the battery voltage to 120V (and others, like USB) and can be used for any 120V application of 175 watts or less. Did I miss something?

    How I mounted a fluorescent ring light on my Meiji EMZ-5

    You can also coat the ends of the screws with Plasti Dip. I use it on plier handles, etc., to increase gripping without killing my hand, as well as coating items to prevent scratching. For those screws, you can just dip a toothpick in the Plasti Dip and coat the end of the screw in place--just...

    Critique Request Sam’s Pendant kit design

    You may also find that putting three or four facets on the stippling graver point, instead of grinding it round, will increase darkness. Then again, you may not need it if blackening the stippled area with Rustoleum flat black paint.

    Critique Request Sam’s Pendant kit design

    You r correct that the Maestro EX will do a great job on the background. When you get it, be sure to try different stroke settings to see what you like best. In this pass, there seems to be a little too much shading for my taste, because is limits the contrast and, thus, decreases the...

    Using EPSON Ultrabrite ink for copies

    Dye inks DO NOT WORK for the transfer process. The ink must be a PIGMENT INK. Unfortunately, there are many color inkjet printers that use a pigment black with dye colors, so you have to look at the specs for the individual inks to figure out if the printer's color inks are also pigment based...

    Using EPSON Ultrabrite ink for copies

    I used the Tom White Transfer Magic (the white version which dulls reflections off the metal). I will try the pen when I get back after the 4th and see. I have used it before with a Canon inkjet print on Pictorico transparencies and don't see any reason that the EPSON Durabrite ink would not...

    Using EPSON Ultrabrite ink for copies

    Good news! The EPSON Ultrabrite ink works with Tom White's Transfer Magic and the transparencies that he sells, i.e., the same transparencies included in the Dubber/Schowe design transfer series. Bad News: office supply stores don't seem to keep ink in their demo inkjets like they do toner in...
