in recent months i've been doing a lot of transfers with laser copies and can't help but notice the toner is pretty tenacious down in a cut line. i wonder how it would work as a substitute for the usual flat black paint? of course, it would take some experimentation on application, which might include heat setting it.
then the current thread on black transfer wax got me thinking about other possibilities, too.
laser printer toner is primarily a superfine ABS plastic powder, which as we all know, can be either melted with heat or a solvent such as acetone or MEK. maybe a tiny bit of solvent stirred in with wax & toner might make a really tough, opaque transfer?
