Hello Clayarters,
Regarding transfer of copier toner images to wet clay:
I took a class from Steve Horn that involved transfering copier images to wet clay. Excited I bought
a couple of Canon copiers from Ebay and got to work. I bisqued at 07 on Nara 5. The images held
their integrity. But when I put on a clear glaze and fired to 4, the images burned off.
I am wondering if any of you know if I fire to a lower temp that this might help? I'll be trying to
reach Steve on Monday but just wanted to see if anyone here has been successful using this
method.
The lino style printing pieces worked fine, but the toner prints--kaput.

Thanks, am not using a decal, but it's probably the same problem of the
iron burning off.
Will try lower temps and see what happens. Thanks for response!

cone 04 and drops off after that as you go higher.

The facts about toner transfer are as follows. You can NEVER put a clear
glaze over an iron oxide toner image. Clear glaze will eat the transfer no
matter how high or low you fire it.
If you are making functional ware then you may want to try firing your
image onto pre-glazed ware.
Mayco's Creative Images kit is fool proof with no guess work involved.
As long as you; Use the right type of printer (either a Canon or an HP
Black and White machine)and use the recomended glaze (it comes with the
kit). The paper in the kit is easy to use too. It is thinner than some
others so it goes through the machine without jamming and it is a right
side up application (no paper gymnastics required).
Good Luck,
Terrie
