Interesting transfer method --- Using Overhead transparency media

[Archie Woodworth]

I found this on Ganoksin (jewelry site)...
In the middle of this article on etching metal, there is a section on "Photo Transfer Process"...It outlines the process necessary to transfer a xerographic image from overhead transparency film to metal.

Basically, it involves "remelting" the toner and transferring it to metal. While somewhat more time consuming that other methods...it is however another method just the same.

BTW
The Ganoksin site is a treasure trove of information for jewelers...if you haven't yet visited the site, you might find it an interesting an resource.

Is that the "iron on" method?

I used to participate in Ganoksin way back when it first started. Visited with both Charles Lewton-Brain and Hanuman.

Hanuman retired, it has been sold now, and we'll see what direction it takes next...

I guess it is kinda of "iron on" ... probably not really useful for us but thought it was interesting just the same. After my 35 plus year association with Xerox Corp., anything to do with toner interest me LOL
Re. Ganoksin...their website has changed and are now offering "membership" levels...numerous videos and how to articles.
