Hi, Jim Divoky mentions (in MMD 040831) a method for using a laser
printer to put the pattern of holes on cardboard fan-fold stock by
removing the reversed and unfused copy and pressing it onto the
cardboard. Lastly, you would spray it to fix the toner to the card
stock.
A simpler method is to let the reversed copies be produced as usual.
Then take the copy and place it face down on the card stock. Finally,
simply _iron_ the back of the paper and the image will transfer to the
card stock. Set the copier or printer to make a dark copy so you get a
maximum amount of toner. You can also spray a solvent on the paper and
transfer it that way, but the ironing method is easier and less risky.
If you could find a 30-year-old Xerox 3100 roll-feed copier that still
works, you could just copy it directly. I designed that machine to
make copies of seismic charts up to 14 inches wide and any length. The
oil companies loved it.
