Back in the 90s, I used to buy small rolls of something like this from Paper Direct. You were supposed to print your page on a B&W Laser Printer (one that used toner rather than ink), run the page thru the printer again with this foil laying on the paper (you printed a blank page the 2nd time thru). Then you peeled the little piece of foil material off and the foil would have adhered to the toner, voila! foil letters or other images. Later, they sold a little device like a tiny hair dryer, that you could use instead of running the page thru the printer again, which sometimes resulted in the foil sheet moving and ruining the result. You could also lay another paper over the printed sheet and iron it with your clothes iron, just don't get it too hot! ..... from Chila /// ---------------------------------------------------------- Chilagami - I think, therefore I fold; I fold, therefore I am Folding for Fun in Northern Arizona, USA [email protected] Chila's Origami World on Facebook -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
