    Workable Fixative

    I hope my explanation was easily understood. If not, ask. I don't have the prismacolor marker in my hand now to tell you which one to use beacuse they don't all work, but it is the one that Tira Mitchell has on her website. The transfer of the toner is 100% and because of this the vector...

    Workable Fixative

    I use laser printer on parchment paper. Prismacolor marker to coat the metal. After the transfer is burnished on the metal I use a heat gun to make the transfer more permanent. When you use a laser printer the toner is baked on the paper in the printer. Using parchment for baking causes the...

    Help, please: HEEL DRAG PLEASEEEEE HELP

    Keep the graver pointed in the same direction and turn the vice. Do not turn or move your wrist. Let the turning of the vice follow the curve. Are you using carbide tools. My first experience with carbide gravers was disappointing. Every time I cut around a curve they would chip. It...

    Darken background

    The picture that I posted is 3450 oil based ink. It is not the same I guess. Perhaps the different number refers to the container size. Usually printers ink used in presses comes in large amounts in a can. When is saw this in a tube I thought it would be a much cleaner and neater way to...

    Darken background

    I use flat black Rustolium like most to darken background, but I know some also use printers ink. I have searched and found that Speedball makes printers ink in small tubes. Is any one using this ink to darken background and is it durable?
