Re: shelving vinyl toner transfer

2013-06-04 by tda7000

I have not heard many good things about (recent) Brother lasers for TT on here either. I think the main problem is they have a higher melting point on their toner, which is likely due to it having a different composition, which probably doesn't help either.

For the record, anything other than "top-posting" makes no sense to me either, in my opinion.
