Turn everyday photographs into a bit of fine art by reproducing them on fusing photo paper and enclosing them in glass. It is simple to use and a marvelous manner to give a made to order gift. These ornamental pieces can be designed as petite as desired, or as big as the 11½ by 8½ piece of paper.
Fusing photo paper comes with ten pages in the envelope. Print photographs or other images on to this paper.
This process takes a printer with a cartridge that has an elevated iron content. It can not be accomplished on a standard laser printer.
Before spending a lot of currency on the decal paper and a laser printer get in touch with HP to be sure that the laser printer being obtained has a cartridge with a high-level iron oxide toner. A couple of suggested printers are: HP Laser Jet 1020 which has approximately 60% iron oxide and HP 2300 with a compatible toner.
The HP laser printer toner is described to contain the highest iron content. A straightforward clarification of how laser printers perform is that the printer toner possess iron in its content. The jet laser printer applies an electrostatic charge to bond the toner to the paper. When using the fusing photo paper, the tint in the toner burns out and leaves the iron. The iron is what creates the sepia tinted figure.
Heat up the printer first by printing 4 to 5 test blank sheets on standard printing paper. The paper is not what goes in the kiln. There is a decal that slips off the decal paper when soaked in distilled water. The photo lightens as the heat rises, so it is suggested that the glass piece is only heated to about 1350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use only a black and white picture for printing. It is also suggested that COE 96 glass is utilized for this photo paper. COE 96 glass has an even flat surface and this assists in eliminating air bubbles.
