Toner Transfer

UPDATE: I started this project with the intention of transplanting a pignose practice amp into this case. A whole new world of options has opened up since I started playing with tubes. I’m putting this one on hold until I find the perfect circuit for this cool combo.

Here’s my first attempt at toner transfer. The inkjet paper has several layers that need to soften in water and peel away from the surface leaving only toner and brass. I think I used too much heat and fused a thick plastic layer with the paper on the face of the page, this caused allot of the toner to pull off with the paper. I also might need to let the piece soak longer.

As long as I can keep the detail around the art I should be ok. I can manually retouch the edges with paint. I will try again today.
