Fusing Photos and Drawings to Glass Using Xerography

I've posted a .PDF handout on my process for fusing images to glass at
http://www2.cemr.wvu.edu/~venable/rmi/s ... er4jac.pdf
This handout reveals the techniques which I taught in the Xerography In Glass class at Corning last October.
I'll be away from my computer next week, but will consider questions and comments after the 28th, or so.

Staying a student keeps me from aging. (Except in the knees and hips.)

NOT IN MY PRINTER, YOU DON'T... Seriously, it's a great idea. Some of the clay ceramics types have posted saying "I'm gonna try... ink jet..." and none have reported back. I'm pretty sure that it has been tried and found wanting. There are a lot of issues, including mesh size, viscousity, jet wear, etc. I think an ink jet printer solution is either just really dumb lucky or a quarter million dollar research project.
My technique works with off-the-shelf with components tested by vendors. You are not risking equipment damage.

Yup! I'm trying to run before I can walk again. How was Corning?
How was the clean up? Brock

My neighbor runs a company called Bakery Crafts. You can print images on birthday cakes. Ink Jet w/icing if you will.

Gimme one of those units and my glass paints. Wait for the 6:00 news for the 'glass artist inadvertantly poisons neighbor child'.
Its so easy to produce an image anymore. Even harder to produce a cool one because people are no longer impressed with repoduction of photographic images.
