Paaedrus wanted to know about making Iron-ons for T-shirts from laser pritners
or a imagewriter IIs.
 
I do remember some ribbons that one could buy that would transfer t-shirt like
stuff to paper (underware or software or some silly mixture of the two).
 
A Laser TOner recharge company in New Hamster (NH) called Black Lightning does
make Laser Toner transfers. One simply mirrors the image (reverse the dog-cow
in the page setup) from a graphic program and print the image out. It comes
out black, but when Ironed (it works best with a dry-mount or T shirt press)
the toner releases gasious dyes that color the shirt. It is possible to do
multiple color designs if well planned.
These hold up to about 6 washings; they do not have the same color saturation
as silk screening. But, they are also cheaper and a nice way to do a 10
special event t-shirts without costing a ton.
Black Lightning has a 1800 number; I think it is findable by calling
1800-555-1212.
