I'm thinking about using the photoresist method because its less messy and much easier than the toner transfer. Also, you don't have the suspense of "did it come out right this time??"
I beg to differ!
yes, when using photo paper, that can all be true.... making a mess with water and dissolved paper goo everywhere, the effort of scrubbing off all the paper, and it almost never comes out right every time.
However, press-n-peel is a whole different world. the ONLY thing you use water for at all is to cool the board down after ironing (just run it under some cold tap water), so there's no mess... printing and ironing are very easy, and it comes out pretty much perfect every time. And, when it comes to removing the backing, it just peels off with no effort... no scrubbing involved!
I know, I know, I brag about it a lot, but it really is incredibly good! believe me, I used photo paper toner transfer for a long time, and when I first tried press-n-peel my jaw hit the floor. it's just amazing, and so much faster and easier than with photo paper.
If you don't believe me, email me your mailing address (evandude AT gmail.com) and I'll send you a piece of press-n-peel
