I’m too hot, call the police and the fire-man.

Seriously tho, my first ever laser print is coming in toasty. Going to have to go faster.

End result.

Today I learned you can invert greyscales so they look even better on slate. Then I learned you can set up a vector (line a circle) to fit bitmaps into for things like full bleed cork coasters (tiger is an Etsy find, can’t share sorry. The eagle was created in ai and posted on a website I don’t record. I’ve since
Made my own Eagle AI creations since tho!)

Every failure is a step towards success. But don’t take recipes at face value, do the test print first!

 

[Sam Posten]

This is the way
