[pianotech] Letraset substitute

[Mark Schecter]

Used to be you could print a reversed image with a laser printer onto a clear plastic sheet, then use an iron to heat the toner through the sheet and transfer the now-normal image onto whatever, such as a plate. Not ever having done that, though, I can't tell you the actual pros and cons, but maybe somebody reading this could.
