Dian,

    From Celie Fago's article: "The variables in this technique are
    heat,  friction, time, copy machine type, toner, and, especially,
    the paper type.  If too little heat or friction is used, nothing
    happens; too much heat,  and the photocopy image transfers to the
    clay. Older photocopy machines  that use carbon-based toner are
    best. I only get consistent results with  Sculpey # polymer clay.
    Hammerville 24 ob. Premium Laser Paper works  consistenly better
    than basic copy paper. I've also had promising results  with heavier
    paper (35-64 ob. card stock)." 

    This is a pretty interesting crafts magazine. Only one issue has
    come out  so far; the second will be in October. 

Janet
