Thank you for your reply :). I've used inkjet printouts, but I had to cover them with Liquid Sculpey so the image wouldn't get ruined; I didn't really get any perfect results. I do a lot of original artwork (mostly metaphysical) in Photoshop and wanted to incorporate that into the polymer clay media. Currently I'm in Anchorage, Alaska, but as soon as my hubby gets military orders somewhere else, we will be moving. I've moved pretty much every 6 years, so I don't really have a place that I call home at this point. @Phaedrakat: Awesome! Thank you for your reply :).

So, they should work fine for this technique. Ink-jet printers and others that use liquid ink cannot be used for this one...but the laser printers & those using toner are perfect! Have fun! ~Kat Riverside, CA USA -- Where are you from? Hi Rada, I Googled LED printers, and they are a type of laser printer. So, they should work fine for this technique.

Does anyone know if these are toner based? It looks like they use laser cartridges. Thank you, Rada Hello all,

Sometimes there is just too much going on around here to keep up! Anyways, that is a pretty common problem. All the answers you need for doing this kind of image transfer in the Vol-006-1 and Vol-006-2 tutorial videos in the Polymer Clay Video Library. If you are a member you should go re-watch those videos, because although it is quite a simple technique there are definitely a few mistakes that can be avoided when doing Toner Image Transfers that I cover in both videos. If you are not yet a member, you should consider purchasing the Back Issue Vol-006. The $9.95 fee includes 4 videos and 4 color mixing recipes, which you will find are well worth the price. Click the link by my name for more info. @cyndy: So sorry for not getting to your request for help, sooner. Sometimes there is just too much going on around here to keep up!

I chose their maximum setting of 5 years for the stand alone, one time fee back issue packages. However, this limit does not apply for ongoing subscription members in good standing. In regards to saving the videos to your hard drive, it is not possible at this time. I'm using a "streaming" video file format that makes it possible for most everyone around the world to watch on most any kind of computer. To make the videos downloadable, I would need to create a second type of video file format that works on iPods and such. It's on my list of things to do... if only there were more hours in the day to get everything done as quick as I would like :) One thing to note about how the subscription library is currently set up, is that as long as you keep your payments current, the videos that accumulate in your account never expire. So even if you travel or are away from the internet for a while, all of the new content (and the archived content) will be there when you get back. Hi Mary,

I'm very new to working with Polymer Clay and have a question to ask. Is there a way of recognising an image as a lasar or toner print. A certain surface finish perhaps to indicate this is the correct image for me to use in attempting to transfer onto polymer clay. I have a Canon Pixma MP110 and feel any print I copy will not be suitable. Thanks so much for passing on your knowledge to this novice, I look forward to receiving your email as I know I will always learn another tip to assist me in my creativity.
