From what I understand from the search, the iron oxide content of the laser printer toners is what produces sepia results. But I still am having trouble finding out if it's possible to print a decal that's still black after firing from home. **ETA: Screen printing, from what I'm understanding from t...

I'm ready to purchase a printer for making my own decals, BUT I'm still not sure which one to buy. I mostly make dichro jewelry in a jen ken kiln and I also have a microwave kiln. 1) I would REALLY like to be able to print off decals that will fire BLACK and not SEPIA.

When something does come out quite right, do you typically try to first increase hold times, or increase temperature? I used the guide on that link that was posted above. My mold was similar but had more "slots" in it. They weren't quite "right". Also, can I re-fire these in the ...

I've been fusing small cabochons for earrings in my microwave kiln. Some come out pretty much perfect, but sometimes they don't. I am wondering if the problem lies in the size of the glass pieces, or the placement of the pieces prior to fusing? I have a hard time getting uniform shapes and sizes. Fo...
