Re: Toner transfer - un-even surface theory...

2006-03-03 by fenrir_co

Update on the Hammermill Color Laser Gloss paper. Total failure. 
Difficult to transfer with the laminator. I think the paper thickness 
also has something to do with it, as it got air bubbles from the heat 
while going though the laminator, while the HP laser photo paper is 
heavier and doesn't bubble. However, that doesn't explain why the 
transfer refused to stick (You would think that toner from the exact 
same machine would stick the same) and the ones that did transfer, 
rubbed off with the scrubby sponge. Just to prove it wasn't a fluke I 
tried another one made on the HP laser photo paper and it worked 
perfectly. It's as if different types of paper give the toner 
completely different chemical properties. Toner doesn't get 
'absorbed', so I'm not sure why this would happen.
