Title: How can we imprint a logo from a paper to another?
Post by: The Scientist on 04/10/2010 12:58:37
I do understand that my question may cause confusion. What I meant was how do you, without damaging the original copy, imprint a logo onto another piece of paper. From one paper to another. The logo would be firstly chopped on ink from one stamp onto the paper itself. SO how do you use the original and transfer to another?

Solvent ... http://www.ehow.com/how_5936538_use-xylene-transfer-photocopied-images.html

The solvent permits the photocopy ink to bleed from paper to paper (or paper to canvas/wood/etc).

... without damaging the original copy, imprint a logo onto another piece of paper. From one paper to another.

The "original" printed material (photocopy) would be damaged by this transfer, (one-time use I suspect).

I hope you're not thinking of doing anything dodgy.

I doubt anyone will accept a back-to-front banknote: transfer printing reverses the image.

Nope, Geezer, thats just one of the questions I wanted to ask.
