Thanks for sharing your work, Grant. I've been thinking about some transfer paper I bought at a computer show. You print on the special medium, and then iron it onto cloth, specifically T-shirts and the like. This might not be as good an image, but it sure does distance the glass from expensive machines! The paper is designed to be used in color printers. Wonder if anyone has tried this yet? TNX, Scotty
