  2. Thank you very much for sharing your thermofax ideas and tips, my machine has sat idle for a couple of years, but now I am ready to fire it up. I use natural dyes and gum trag to make my inks for printing with a 70 mesh screen, it works just great and you can pull a fine print.

  3. Thank you for the list! I've been meaning to do a test sheet to compare the clarity (ie carbon content) of all the pens I have. Do you know of any that created a particularly crisp line?
