Step 4: Dry The Print
The "Toner Transfer Paper" comes
in a resealable plastic bag, to keep some humidity in the paper,
so that it doesn't jam in the
printer or copier.
When you go to Step 4,
"Color The Print", you want the humidity out of the paper, so that the
color
(aka "TRF or Toner Reactive
Foil") only sticks to the toner, and not the paper.
Apparently, if you have a heat
gun, you can use it to do the drying. What works for me is the oven
in our electric range, 350 degrees
for 1 minute only. You do have to watch out - I discovered that
our oven uses the broiler element
up top to help keep the temperature steady. If that comes on
while your print is in there,
it will toast! If your print gets toasted, throw it out and start
over.
So I recomment putting a cookie
sheet between your heating element and your print.
The print doesn't (and shouldn't) look any different when it comes out.
Now you are ready to add the color.
