Fusing Laser Printing to Powder Coated Aluminum

I thought this was a very cool. PDF output from MoI can be laser printed, even in color, and then fused with a
laminator to powder coated aluminum. I think Home Depot has the aluminum in the roofing department.
The Mirror command will reverse text.

I've got a laminator around here somewhere.

Wow Bem, I could have used that trick on my home made radio:



MoI would be perfect for accurate dial ticks.

I wonder if the same trick would work on spray paint?

I would also suggest adding a clear fixative over the laser transfer.

For transferring engraving designs to metal I use a laser print on plain paper, acetone, and a bit of burnishing. It works very well, though the technique described may be superior.
