Re: Best Combination toner/printer/paper/heat??

2007-02-13 by Ted Bruce KX4OM

It might work with the toner from the Brother HL-2040, as this laser
printer has a sticker on the front and back inside covers that says
415.4 degrees F.  The technique (time, temperature and pressure) is
significantly different from copier toner or my previous HP printer
toner.  I've had difficulty using it with Press N Peel blue, which
I've documented a few times previously on this forum.

I currently use catalog paper (Harbor Freight non-glossy) for the
transfers.  See the photo album KX4OM for a few examples.
