TRANSFER TONER
 The paper is firmly put on the sheet, toner hitting the metal. Make circular movements with an iron at his maximum temperature, with no steam.

 The drawing appears through the paper, it's seen even if the ink on the leaflet leaks. BE CAREFUL, don't press the iron too long otherwise the toner leaks, it's particularly visible on very tiny parts (I can draw 0,2 mm thick lines without problems!). 30 seconds seems to be the limit before the toner leaks, this time depends on the paper.

 

When the sheet is cold, the paper swells where there is no drawing between two lines of stuck toner for example (see the arrow on the left picture).If it doesn't do that, it's because the toner didn't well stuck to the metal, just press the iron during a few seconds.
