Hey guys, thought some of you would find this video useful. This is the technique that we use to transfer our computer line drawings and other images to our metal for engraving, chasing and piercing work.
It is a toner transfer, so you will need a laser printer.

Damn it! Now I want the tools for engraving and I can hardly afford to buy saw blades.

China white is an artist's watercolor paint used by engravers to provide a clear background to transfer pattern markings.

The blue PNP transfer paper works excellent as well. Just print your design directly on the paper and use an iron to heat transfer it to the metal. No chemicals needed and is very durable.
