PRINTING ON METAL SHEETS

The technique used is very simple, it's a matter of transfer the toner printed on a paper in a laser printer to the metal sheet by heating.

  
PRINTING THE DRAWING OF THE PARTS TO OBTAIN
 The paper used is free, it's the leaflet paper found all days in the letterbox. It's thin, lightly coated and can be printed in a laser printer.

 The left picture show some drawings printed on this paper, grids, seat belts buckles and 1/24 license plates. They are printed at 1200 dpi with the darkest intensity.

 BE CAREFUL, if the direction is important (like on license plates), print the drawing upside down.
