My transfer method is with Xerox Copies from original (sketches) or Computer Generated black & white designs, Acetone or lacquer thinner and cotton tissue / first place xerox copy to designated surface (wood metal paper etc..tape one side if necessary) then rub non printed surface w/ a mildly soaked Tissue and be sure to use a fresh copy per each transfer if necessary.

@worldwildwest So, if you had a large sketch you would make copies, section by section to transfer? That should work. I 'll have to try it. The thing I like about a computer projector, or even a slide projector is the property of scalability. I often have a sketch that I imagine as a larger finished work. Projecting the image does allow me to choose any magnification or reduction desired.
