Bear in mind I am new to this and still searching
Let me share n little experiment on transferring an image to steel and or any object to be engraved.
I have read and tried various methods of transferring an image or design, what worked for me up to now was the laser printer with heat rollers dislodged and on paper. It is however difficult to place the designs on a knife bolster and get it right on both sides. Here it comes, printing on transparent sheet I tried every thing I read about soap treatment, sharpies etc. and it did not work for me, and then I tried something out of desperation and it works for me. I covered the coarse side of the transparent with a green whiteboard marker and then printed the design on that and “whala” it works I transferred the design to a practice plate with no problem. I used the same print about three times and still get a clear and crisp transfer.
I would like to know if it works for anybody else.
Cheers
