This is something that I've been wanting to do for a long time, but could
not get enough info on. I have a stack of the paper. It is called transfer
paper, and could be gotten from most shops that make T-shirts and sweat
shirts. The paper transfers to whatever it is against around 350F.

My problem has been that we use Apple LaserWriters here, and according to
the docs that came with the LaserWriter, it can get up to 200 degrees
*Celcius* inside that thing! 

Does anyone know if the 200C number is correct. Has it changed with the
LaserWriterII's. I have this really nice Eikonix camera sitting here,
begging to make some T-shirts (makes great amiga and sun backgrounds too).

	thanks,
