I just unpacked my new transfer tool. This tool is going to allow me to personalize my turned pens, as you can see the wooden block in the photo was personalized using the tool. The way it works is this, you create your text using Photoshop or some other photo editing type software, make sure that you select bold text. Now that you've created your text need to flip it horizontally and print it out. Trim around the image and secure it tightly print side down on your turned pen object. Plug-in the transfer tool and allowed to warm up for at least 10 min. after the tool is heated rather the back of the text heating it and causing the toner from the printout to transfer to the wood. NOTE this will only work with a laser printer or copier. Because you can get bold typeface with a laser printer and not with a copier laser printer is a better method. If you attempt to use an ink jet printer you will not succeed it will not work. I tried to make a couple of color transfers but the color toner does not transfer very well or dark black toner works the best.
