Great video. Thanks for making it.

Can you provide a list of materials that are used? For example, is the clear tape special, and what is the fluid that you apply to the surface? Do you use an inkjet or a laser printer?

Laser printer. Any adhesive tape that can lift toner. And solvent. I didn’t experiment, but I think he should be strong.

it would have to be printed on some sort of coated paper (silicone parchment?), because you can't just lift an image off plain paper with tape, regardless of the printer type- inkjet or laser.

I have transferred from parchment paper without the tape. I think I used prismacolor marker or TW's transfer solution. I know it was one or the other but don't remember because it is not my usual method. 100% of toner transferred without the tape.

My main problem with using parchment was that the toner was so fragile it flaked off with a stern look. I even tried rubbing the paper with acetone to improve adhesion, which helped a little, but it was still almost impossible to use without damaging the image. I finally gave up. Maybe using an intermediate tape transfer would be better than trying to go straight from parchment to metal?
