Wauw Roland, that looks fantastic already!
What face do you use on your carbalt graver?
Or how long is your spacer? I use 19mm spacers for engraving stainless and I believe the standard spacer that comes with the templates is an inch.

Thanks for showing.

Herman, I do the transfer with a laser printer without warmer like this:
(Laser Method B) Laser Printer Transfer Method

Materials needed:

ˇ Laser printer and clear acetate paper (or other papers)

Process:
Modify a laser printer by disabling the heat rollers that the paper goes through before it exits the machine. The heat is used to melt the toner onto the paper, and by disabling the heat, the toner will not melt and set itself to the paper or acetate. When the paper exits the machine, the toner is just laying on the surface of the paper and can be easily wiped off. You are on your own disabling the heat to the rollers in your printer. Each laser printer is a little different, with "smart" sensors that seem to know if something isn't working like it should. I haven't been successful disabling the heated rollers on my HP 4P laser printer, but on the old HP 2P machine it was possible.

Rather than disabling the heat rollers in the printer, it will also work to just shut the printer off before the paper gets to the heated rollers, or you may open the toner cartridge door on the printer to stop the paper (or acetate) before it gets to the heated rollers. It takes some experimenting to know when to open or shut it off, but when successful, the powdered toner will be unset and just laying on the acetate or paper.

Make sure to print the design in reverse. Next, put a fine coat of damar varnish or shellac on the metal where you want the design. Carefully tape the acetate (with the toner face down) into position. Use a finger nail or a plastic burnishing tool, and rub on the back of the acetate. The toner will stick to the varnish.

Gert, yes it is more black and the picture is original work without painting
SE the knife isn't finished and probably the handle will be in dark brown wood but I don't know exactly.
