In my attempt to create holos without an alps, I thought about how
laser printers work. If you don't know, read up here:
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/laser-printer.htm.

My idea is to replace the toner in a toner cartridge with pearl-ex.
When you think about it, toner and pearl-ex have the same properties:
1, extremely small. 2, bonds to things when heated. basically all you
need. So the laser printer will electrostatically attract the pearlex
instead of the toner and go through the laser printer process as usual,
bonding the pearl ex with amazing quality.

any thoughts on this? anybody try this yet?

hey. I remember a long time ago some guy talking about how he was
constantly experimenting with this method, but i never heard of him
perfecting it, but I dunno, all i got to say is try it and please keep
us all posted with your progress and how things turned out and if it
worked a nice tutorial on exacly what you did.
