Dear Lyric, Sorry if I misread.

I tried to reference 'comments' back to your instructions without taking them out of context,but not successfully.

"5. Make a final photocopy. (Note: Laser and inkjet prints DO NOT work with this method.)"

Other than big box stores not many other choices around here. Oh well.

Thanks

Dear Farmhousesewer - I think You've mis-read just a little. Toner and Laser printers that use toner DO work! My laser printer is an old Lexmark and works beautifully.

Unfortunately no - I have not asked specific types of printers that work. I believe ink and toner formulations change often so you need to test.

I have had the experience of using the same copier and it worked one month and not the next. More than half of the copy machines I've tried have worked and it isn't really that hard to test.

It's a fun technique and easy to do so it's worth finding a machine that will make copies that work for you.

Best wishes!

Lyric, Brenda's post does not answer the question of exactly what type of copier works with Citra-Solve. Where you have been successful, have you asked the establishment the type of copier they have? If you knock out toner, laser and inkjet, there is not much left. Any help appreciated. I would rather not just test place to place. Thanks

I have tried Kinkos and Staples to make copies and none of them will work. They said they were toner based copies but nothing transfered. Any idea where I might find a copy machine that will work? Where did you have your copies done?? Does the copy machine have to be an old relic in some momand pop grocery store 🙂

Hi I was just wondering if you knew another product that can be used instead of the citrasolve? as I live in Australia and haven't had any luck finding it.

Thanks for your posting, as I'm trying to print onto the fabric using a variety of transfer methods which are not working the best.

Thank you for this tutorial. Your links also helped me find a local source for the Concentrate.

For you Australian readers, I have used "Orange Power Orange Power Sticky Spot & Goo Remover" to great effect - see here my blog. Also, all my photo transfers have been made using images printed on my laser printer. I have to burnish quite forcefully, kind of scraping with the spoon, but it works beautifully and is so much more satisfactory than any other photo transfer technique that I have ever used.
