Making transfers from pics

From: Dan E. Good (danegood@hotmail.com) | Date: 2005-12-07 16:43:51 UTC
I just found out that Microsoft Photo editor has a "Stamp" function
that will turn any photo into a ready to print transfer.

I have done the HB pencil and that work "OK" but difficult to "pencil
in." I've tried the nail polish remover on a injet printout and it
did NOT transfer. I have yet to try it using a laserjet. Is there any
other methods that you use?

It needs to be Laserjet (black)
or a real Xerox type printer. Inkjet wont work at all.
the acetone (dont use acetone-free fingernail polish remover) causes the
toner
to liquify for a moment and it transfers to anything its touching
hopefully thats just your stamp. Its the toner that transfers the image.

Remember you dont need to reverse the image you print on the laserjet
Then it reverses when you transfer it to the rubber
then it reverses again when you stamp and it back to correct orientation.
