Thermal Copier

ow do all,

i have one of those pain in the arse fancy thermal copier machines but when i put a design through it doesnt come out too good.
what do people use to draw the design before sending it through the machine?

very frustrated!!! cheers

Hi anything with a high carbon/graphite content

are you sending pencil drawings through it ? If so copy the drawing on a regular copier first then use the copy to put through the thermal. The blacker the image the better stencil youll get

Hi where did u get it from ??? How much did u pay ??? I was looking at one on eBay 120 and people are saying them ones are shit ,,,,

Not entirely sure what you mean by comes out shit its a bit vague. Anyways ill share what I've learned with using my copier. As said above the better the image going into the machine the better the image coming out. To stop creases in the stencil I gently hold both sides of the paper as it goes through the machine. If the copier has a deepness 2 setting try that for a darker stencil. Finally your thermo fax paper makes a massive difference. I bought a set with Green carbon in them and they all came out shit. I've since bought some more expensive sheets with heavy blue carbon in them and there coming out really strong. Hope that helps bud.
