What would you like to see next?

i like it very much that you first say the simple fact how to do it and then go deeper. So you let me choose if I want to stay for the deeper information. Its rare today. Thank you!

I really love that you did the 'get to the point' synopsis at the beginning of the video.

Excellent video. Concise and clear, with good close-up views. I especially appreciate the quick summary at the beginning.

Thanks so much. Finally, someone who gets to the point. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the tape tip, hairspray also works if it is used after the clean stage and printing stage

This was fantastic! Thanks! Exactly what a "how to" video should be.

you're a big help getting started ty. can you do a video on shading? stimppling, and using the black enamle please

Nice video, right to the point. Thanks for the viewers consideration!

From engraver to engraver. Very good videos and best regards from Germany.

Amazing video, can't wait to try this method for my copper etchings.❤

No bullshit...to the point..direct clear info. Bravo!!! Well done! I subbed

Great Video! After pulling my hair out for days trying to figure out why the acetone wouldn't release from the paper and trying many combinations the reason was heat. Laser printers use heat to apply the carbon powder to the paper. The perfect combination I found was the following: 1. Printing on the non adhesive back page of Avery sticker printing sheets or you can also use baking paper taped to an A4 sheet. 2. Apply a gentle heat to the work using a butane torch (its not getting red hot, just enough that it is uncomfortable to hold). (wear gloves) 3. Finally apply pressure with a rag and acetone. I found that this took every spec of detail off the paper and left everything on the work. Hope this helps.

Finally a video that gets to the point and a technique that works!

Your doin it very good! The way u talk and presentation! Thumbs up!

Thank you very much sir that was realy amazing tutorial,2 thumbs up to you sir.

Thank you for sharing!

Ha... How’d you like cutting that CRKT knife? Great transfer video, and I also suspect the same thing about the packing tape step! Well done!

Great video. I see that you got a microscope. I would like to see more engraving videos, start to finish. Thanks

Great tip thanks dude ✌✌

Great video, is it only blk and white that can transfer? Or can it be color as well?

Thanks man, you rock!

Great video, do you think I can transfer images on a motorcycle tank? And varnish it?

Thank you!

If I want to locke the printing over the metal what i can use to protect?

Will it come off the same way if you draw it with pencil or pen.

Thanks for that. I was having spectacular lack of success using transfer paper, just mucked up my drum. Smoothing iron on a paper print very poor too. Had tried various chemicals but not acetone 'cos it gives me a headache. But it works! Only a very light moistening else it wicks in the paper and smudges.] So it all depends on the particular machine and toner as to which technique works.

I just tried to transfer the image to a copper plate using resin varnish but failed. I used to transfer to PVC with thinner. and it works easily. Is this acetone also hard and hot when it hits the skin? if yes, then you can use thinner too

How can I deboss or Emboss the Image. Let's say I want to emboss the image of a fish onto the surface ? 3D like.

haha, now you have a microscope! ;-) thank you from germany. I'd like to see some engaving skills.

What paper is used for transfer

Is it okay to etch the result transfer with salt method?

thank you so much❤❤❤

Thanks man!!!

Thank You ♥️

Awesome, thanks!

Have a question what printer do you use

Free software Inkscape is ideal for vector prints. It makes clean prints without dots. It can vectorize/trace bitmaps (to make vector images out of your bitmap designs) quite good! Just print straight out of inkscape for best result. And I indeed believe some glue of the tape makes the transfer better, we always use a shellac solution on the surface before transferring, for this exact same function. Cheerio

Unfortunately this wont work with most laser printers because of the internal heater. Depends on which printer you get and the heat it uses. Or break into yours and disable the heater.

How would I find somebody that can either engrave or lazer print a design to billet aluminum and do they have classes for adults to learn this stuff

Wow.... Thank you very much

Nice. Tq sir

Nice ! I'm refinishing a vintage stereo and need to put back lettering. The surface is painted metal. Can you suggest a way to inkjet print and transfer back lettering onto the painted metal surface ? Thanks !!!!

Love your videos! What app do you use on the iPad for your designs?

Hi Caleb. Great video. Could you please make a video how you measure your drawing to a zippo or knife?

Thanks for the info. If you're not going to engrave the image, will spraying it with clear coat make it last longer? Or would you want to do the following steps: 1) sanding, 2) prime 3) transfer monochrome or color image. Acetone would destroy the primer wouldn't it? Looks like I need to do a web search.

Hi, this method does not work with any toner. I have tried several laser printers including printing at Staples and none of them have worked. The acetone did not dissolve the toner even after saturating the paper. Do you know what kind of toner to use specifically?

Super

Hi! Great work. Question. What fotoshop do you use? What's It called? Thank you

Hi Caleb, are you still using your tormach? or did it not turn out to be useful for what you do? thanks!

Scotch tape works well too, used to use this trick before gaskets, works better than any de greaser, if your free handing it, , tape, plaster cine dabs,(the older stuff), and then some talc, makes a good base for a pencil design...easier than china white.....

Hi there, i used this method for a while, but i found a much better way to transfer patterns. print on parchment paper not regular paper und then use hair spray to coat the piece, when its dry moistn it with your breath and then put the parchmentpaper on and rub it onto the piece, when all ink is transfered you coat it in another layer of hairspray. it is extreme visible and works great. i also made a video about it, its one of my most seen videos and many people tryed it and were very happy. give it a shot, you dont need any solvent or other harsh stuff, just the cheapest hairspry you can find and some common parchment paper, a laser printer you have allready, that works best.

The reason your getting dotted images is because you forgot to turn it into a vector image in photoshop

Does the acetone work for wood too?

I have a question: Is there any good software anyone knows about for Android users and any similar drawing pencils like you're using for Android? I have a Note ultra 22 with the pen, but I like what you're using? Also, having that type of pen will help cause I want to get a tablet for bigger surface space when drawing.

I have a painted metal surface, I want to transfer my drawing on it but I'm afraid that acetone will ruin the surface paint. Do you have any tips?

I used Nail Polish and. Normal Photo paper / rubbing

Do different laser printers produce different results? I'm not having any luck transferring to copper.

Damn good vid

What kind of printer paper are you using? Do you have any recommendations?

Those Pilar knives loan themselves well to modification. Just don't dunk the backspacer in ferric chloride! I learned that the hard way. :-/

Do u have to invert the image?

Will this work on Aluminum?

Thank you

Hmm I tried this with my laser printer and it seemed that the acetone did not release the toner at all, same with my canon bubble jet. I wonder if certain brans the toner simply wont react with the Acetone. Anyone else notice this?

I like

jim root

I doesn't work for me :(

Interesting.. hmm yeah cool lots of ideas floating around.. lol

I'm not designing an image. I just want to use an image I cut out of a vintage magazine and transfer onto a metal tin can

My ink is solvent-proof...I don't think I got a laserprinter though.

You are Riker

Yeah cause a fucking laser printer is so affordable for most people 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ there’s no way to do it with regular paper or regular paper?
