Cels Forum

>I never thought about using transparencies!^_^ Good idea!
Laser printers usually have to heat up to something like 
200C or so.  I don't know if normal cels can withstand that
temperature.  Laser printers use a higher temp than
trace machines, so I'm not really willing to try screwing
my printer up. Especially not a nice HP 2100.
The laser printer works by melting plastic from the tonor
cart onto whatever you're printing on.  Laser lines won't
budge, and from my printer, they're incredibly crisp, as if
someone hand inked it like a hanken.

You're probably using high viscosity paints!
This problem can be fixed with flo-ease for high viscosity
paints, or just use medium viscosity.  Medium viscosity
is really thin tho...It's thin enough to work with 
air brushes! But you've really got to be careful, medium 
viscosity acrylics can be hard to control. Unless you have 
a good sable brush and a VERY steady hand, I would recommend
that you stick with the high viscosity stuff, then slowly
add flo-ease until the paint has a thickness you like.

Hope this info helps,
