Default How do you transfer a pattern to your wood

JGS rightly expresses some doubt.

It would be interesting to know whether anyone has actually been able to
make a laser printer do this?


Earlier in this thread, I suggested that those who don't have a laser printer
could photocopy the output from an inkjet printer, and transfer the
photocopied image to the wood. That suggestion was not mere idle speculation;
I've actually done that twice, and it works fine. Since laser printers and
dry-toner photocopiers use basically the same process for imprinting images on
paper, there is no reason to suppose that it would not work for a laser
printer. Indeed, I applied the same reasoning in reverse when I assumed that,
if it would work with a laser printer (as had been posted here a couple years
ago), then it would surely work with a dry-toner copier. And it does.
