    Gail:
    CLTT uses the OEM toner that comes with some printers. Minolta and Okidata toners will work. Call and talk to Mick Eminger at http://cactus-equipment.com
    He sells the paper that will work and other supplies and is an expert on the process. He will give you all the info you need to get started.

    Can you apply CLTT directly to acrylic or is the heat transfer temp too high?

    You can do it but the temp needs to be about 280 using a green foam pad. Also be sure that the transfer paper covers the entire piece of acrylic or you will have marks on the area where there is no transfer.

    Yep, you sure can, but follow Mike's advice. (Kinda open's up a new world of possibilities, doesn't it?)
