To check if your printer will work get the cartridge toner number of the printer, google "cartridge Number" HP MSDS. This will bring up the details of your toner. It must have at least 40-50% of some form of iron oxide (the terms ferrite or ferrous is sometimes used) for it to work. By law all printer manufacturers are supposed to have their MSDS (material safety data sheets) available to the public. For more detailed info go to decals on http://overglaze.info/?page_id=180 Cheers Johanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUS Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hey, I tried this a few years ago and got really good results, but then I tried to repeat using the same process, and the images burned away. I'm thinking that it may make a difference as to which glaze you have used, as some seem to eat the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
