Hello :)
A while back I got myself some Ferric Nitrate for Etching, and so far have been using a resistant and hand drawing the design. But I have a few photos that I have altered which I would like to use on some pieces, but I dont understand the printer thing.
I am not really a printer person, or paper person, so everything I read about printing designs means nothing, so I came hear in hope someone could explain in basic lol.
So I believe I need a laser printer, or copier? How do you know what your printer is? Mine does scanning, copying, and printing, its a HP photosmart, I have poked it and searched all over it but it wont tell me if its inkjet or laser lol So if it turns out to be inkjet, do I need a new printer or is there somewhere you can go to get printed on laser?
Also what paper do you use? Read that newspapers do the job?
Thankyou in advance :)
