Instructions
You can
turn your family pictures into a piece of art by printing them on fusing
photo paper and enclosing them in glass. It is easy to use and a
terrific way to give a personalized gift.
What
kind of printers can I use?
Laser
Jet printers with high iron oxide in the toner. HP toners are reported
to have a high iron oxide content.
How does
it work?
A simple
explanation of how laser printers work is that the toner has iron in its
content. The printer uses an electrostatic charge to stick the toner to
the paper. When using the fusing photo paper, the pigment in the toner
burns out and leaves just the iron. The iron is what produces the sepia
colored image.
What are
the instruction?
1) Begin
by printing your black & white (grey scale) images from your computer
onto your laser printer with the use of a blank piece of photo fusing
paper.
2) Print
onto the glossy side of the blank paper. Note: You should feed your
printer one sheet at a time to avoid jamming the printer since this
paper is thicker than regular paper.
3) Allow
the ink to dry and settle onto the paper for a few minutes and it should
be ready for application.
4) Cut
out the images as close as possible to the image and place them in water
for about 30 seconds. Holding the picture you will feel the printed
image starting to slide off the white paper; it is ready to apply to the
glass.
5) Slid
the image into place and wipe off excess water and remove any air or
water bubbles under the image. Allow setting/drying time of at least 3
hours, more if possible.
6) Cap
image with clear and fire in your kiln.
7) Recommendations:
a.
Tack fuse with out cap 1st, then cap with a
transparent to full fuse.
b.
Use thin transparent cap.
c.
Use a lower full fuse temperature when possible. |
