[Jewelry making - Article 00311] - [Orchid] Laser printer for PnP blue

[Rachel Rose]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    I have just taught myself to do chemical etching on copper and brass
    using a paint resist, and scratching into the paint with a scribe. My
    goal is to use PnP blue in order to be able to create the kind of
    imagery and text I'm after. I thought learning the etch process would
    be the hard part... but now that I've got that settled I find no one
    (Office Max, Office Depot, the library, the drugstore, etc) will let
    me run my PnP blue through their photocopier! No one. I'm so
    frustrated! 

    I am going to have to buy a laser printer to dedicate to this
    process and I am happy and willing to do it, but don't want to buy
    one which won't work and will jam. Anyone using PnP blue
    successfully with a laser printer, particularly one that is fairly
    new so still available? 

    I bought my PnP blue from Thompson Enamel. (Yes, I called them and
    they were no help, they insisted "We've never had a problem with
    jamming, any printer will work.") If you have a printer recommend
    for me, let me also know where you get your PnP blue. I'm seeing it
    in a number of places, and there may be differences between them. 

    Hoping someone out there can help me! 

Rachel
