Mark Hammer	Re: Thanks guys! With the exception of the commercial copy shop (and wiping the toner off mistakenly reverse-printed sheets), this is exactly what I do too. Works great.

UV is a bit more expensive to begin with, but makes it easier to get good results all the times.

I have a friend that now uses UV all the time. He had many bad experiences with PNP and decided to try it. He is now hooked om it.

With PNP, I find it harder to choose the correct iron setting, the correct time time and pressure to apply. And it also depends on the photocopier you use for the PNP.

But all you need are the PNP sheets.

Right now, I use Lumocolor pens a lot, PNP when I can, and I am also trying to find a good cheap UV lamp for when I when I try the UV method.

griff	hope this link works.. http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=0211041510261444114&moduleno=24245&modulecode= if not just go to the maplin homepage ---> lighting ---> ultra violet ---> and tbh its your choice, but you can get a plain uv bulb that screws into a normal light fitting for a fiver. griff

a good lamp is pretty expensive, but if you can use one or have one, it's about as quick as PNP but allows more detail. If you're doing larger batches it's faster, depending on the lamp you can actually light letter-sized sheets at a time easily, and it very, very rarely goes wrong.
recap:xerox copy and center punch followed by sharpie for easy stuff.
PNP for harder things,
UV for high-detail and "mass" production.
