Rep Power: 0 | | finaly the pen test So boys here it is I think, the pen test can be passed by the following method. Arm&Hammer antipersparent and deordarent, dont laugh, try it. Place a small amount on the bill let it sit for about 20 minutes, then depending on the percentage of cotton 24 or 25 place it in a bath of downy for about half an hour. Let it dry flat and test your pen, it will pass yellow. Dont thank me so much as Shetlan as he put the idea in my head about a barrior between the pen and paper but you can send all paypal thank you´s to me directly enjoy |

Rep Power: 5 | | Cool, thanks. I'm going to try it. Maybe figure out an easier way? By the way, please get a picture of what you call passing with your method. I think it's against the rules to ask for payment or donations. |

It also seems to help the feel if I place them in a salt bath AFTER the downy, but I am still working on that. Enjoy |

Is it this one or what? http://www.overstockdrugstore.com/pr...3200197249.jpg
The sooner you reply the sooner I can try and do some print tests. |

Rep Power: 0 | | ink If you have not gotten to the point that your ink will not run MurderSkilz, then it would be harder for you. It works on ink that is already set and dry, you THEN add the deodarent-salt bath. However yes it would largely depend on how you are setting and drying your ink. |

Can you give a quoted section?

Rep Power: 0 | | Hey shetlan!
I have posted here in this thread yet, but i've been following it ever since you've taken over in knowledge. The guy you were asking about with the index card? He was referring to the original method 123Shadow123 posted up. Quote:
Process 3: Printing
1)Find the 1968 currency (front and back) for the amount of money you want. The 1968 currency doesn't have any security features and are still in circulation to this very day. They are rare to get but they exist.
2)Take your index card and scissors and cut out an EXACT replica of the $1 bill. This will be your "Test Print" to make sure you are doing everything OK.
3)Tape the back of the index card down with the double sided tape (tape th edges to you don't effect the entire replica bill or remove any paper)
4)Trace and outline of the location with a pencil (lightly)
5)Scan your "test print"
6)Use a photo editing tool such as PhotoShop and create a new image
7)Make it as big as the "test print' and add the front of the currency to where the index card is.
8)Now print it in a high quality!
9)Wait an hour and let the ink dry
10)Repeat steps 2-9 except printing the back
11)After the ink COMPLETELY DRIES, iron it one last time!
Congratulations! You just made counterfeit money!!!!!
| It is a little confusing sounding, and i seem to like your method better anyways. But i got a question for you sir. Do you think the Canon MP980 would scan/print? It looks like one of the best photo printers they have out, but i dont really have 200 to blow on Amazon, to find out it wont print. Any workarounds you know? What i REALLY find interesting about this specific printer is its ability to do a double-side copy. No problems re-aligning now. Also just a simple one time step. Whatcha think? |  |  | |  |

Whatcha think? | Oh, so the index card is completely unnecessary.
I don't know anything about the MP980, whether or not it scans should be clearly visible in the item description.
The ability to make a double sided copy is convenient, but not worth the extra cash. It only takes a few seconds to properly align the samples to make the bill, there's no reason to spend 10x the money on a printer that does it for you.

Could you go into more detail as to how you set up your scans to print them? Like what program you used, and how you aligned them so well? |

1: I don't scan - I directly photocpy.
2: No programs, they just make it more complicated.
3: Line them up with your eyes and your hands, it's not that hard.

No watermarks, no security strip, no nothing.
Pre-1990 bills have practically no security features.

Rep Power: 5 | | Only security features that you would have to pass really is the pen test. Banks maybe the UV test. But the thing is.. You better pass that pen test before even thinking of using a 100 dollar bill. Unless you like being bent over
PS. Blue and Red threads. But I think any modern scanner can pick them up. My scanner picks up micro-print.. lol |

Rep Power: 5 | | Not crisp anymore. Like real bills get. When they no longer have that "crispness". Esp after circulation from a while. Even better for bills that are pre '96. |

Rep Power: 0 | | Have you tried printing on 100% cotton and then going through the water/downy method? If so, did it produce a better result? Or is 100% cotton paper just good on its own without any more modifications, besides being broken in? | |
