Lazertran Techniques
Lazertran Silk can be used to put photocopied images onto glass tissue
- Have your image copied in reverse onto a sheet of Lazertran Silk transfer paper
- Lay the fine glass tissue over the image and using a hot iron iron the image into the tissue
- Do not pull at the transfer paper to make sure it is stuck but put into a bath of water. After a few minutes the backing sheet of the Lazertran Silk will fall off leaving the image on the glass tissue
- Lift from the water and dry with a cool iron from the back. Do not touch the toners with the iron
- When dry lay a sheet of baking parchment over the image and iron the toners through the parchment, into the glass tissue. Allow to cool and peel off the parchment
