Can't find the photo fusing posts ...
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help? I'm looking for a firing schedule to use with photo fusing paper (the kind you print with an HP printer). I'm sure this was posted previously but when I do a search what I want doesn't come up. The instructions that came with the paper don't give a schedule, it just says don't fuse over 1350F ...
Thanks
Jane

The instructions may have been among the lost posts in the latest upgrade.
Just use a schedule appropriate for the glass you are firing on.

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply; I was just a bit confused because the instructions say don't fire above 1350F and for a full fuse of 2 pieces of Bullseye totalling 6mm thickness I would normally fuse to 1450F. Would I get away with just fusing to 1350F?
Thanks

Make your 2 layer blank first using your normal schedule and add the PF in a later, cooler firing.

We use a lot of that paper and fire in our small kiln (8x8) to 1410 on clear glass. Schedule is 0-1410 as fast a possible, hold 10...done.
Note this is for 1 layer 2x2 pieces. In our large kiln we go to 1350, hold 10...done.
I find it curious that they indicate a max of 1350. In our experience, if you fire too low, the toner does not sink into the glass far enough to hold.

I Fuse the glass first and fire to 1380 and hold 15. This has always worked for me.

Just a quick question Bob, how do you manage to get the images to go right to the edge like that ... all the instructions I've come across say you need to leave a gap ...
