thermal wax printer for PCB

[Paul Perry (Frostwave)]

I don't even know what a 'thermal wax printer' is, but I know that someone here will hve one somewhere, and someone might even be crazy enough to try this:
(from an old synth-diy post)

"If you have a thermal wax printer, you dont need to buy photoresist pcbs
anyway.. My Alps seemed to do a good enough job for me to print to an
overhead and then use an iron to transfer the wax from the printer to the
pcb! Wow.. what a stroke of luck buying this printer! Mind you, I had to
touch it up with a sharpie permanent marker, but it was still MUCH easier
and quicker than doing all the gobbledigook required to get an accurate uv
exposure anyway.."

gobbledigook

I LOVE that word

I think this is one of those prionters that were made especially for overhead-sheets, when laserprinters coulldn't handle those without melting them?
Never seen one though.

I have an ALPS MD1000, I've been useing it for makeing decala mostly, never tried doing a PCB, maybe I should give it a shot and report back.
