Any ideas on making folds on laser printed parts
Because my Brother MFC-J985DW ink jet printer could not even come close to the colors on my monitor I had the parts for a model printed on 80# stock at my local UPS store on a laser printer. The quality of the prints is phenomenal, the colors and details are exactly as is seen on my monitor. The printed parts on the paper are somewhat glossy, I guess that is just the laser toner finish.
The difficulty I am having is the serious cracking/flaking that occurs when making folds. I have tried scoring fold lines on the front as well as on the back to no avail.
What I have resorted to doing is using an old x-acto blade to cut part way through the fold line. The result is I have to color every one of the fold lines after making the fold.
After seeing the laser prints it is going to be hard to go back to inkjet prints.
I looked at John Wagenseil's suggestions on this subject and was hoping someone may have found a less cumbersome method.
Thanks
