hi, everyone.

my ink jet printer is dieing...

and it's the perfect time to get a laser, so i can play with decals.

first...

does it have to be a black & white only laser printer?

or are laser printers like ink jet... a black cartridge, which can be
used alone?

and does anyone have a list of printers that work.... or can you point
me to a list?

thanks so much.

The printer that we are using for photo transfer is an HP LaserJet 1150 wit=
h
HP ink. The transfer paper is Lazertran Waterslide Decal paper for Laser
Printers. My studio partner fires his images to ^08 and gets good results.
Although with a recent mistake he found that he didn't need to use the deca=
l
paper but simply regular cheap copy paper placed toner side down. He fired
to ^6 with very good results on bare porcelain.
