Rezn8, the ten on top is real teh ten on bottom is made from a photocopy of the one on top using the 25% cotton rag paper - after treating it to soften it up.
I'll post the complete instructions in a couple of days, I have company over till monday. |

If it were me.. I'd test to see how well it goes through the washer.. that should soften it up if it withstands like real currency paper. I'm thinking of a way to seal the ink so there is no worries if it goes through the washer with your ink. |

props to you shetlan...if i start making big bucks from this, I'll send you a big profit lol | Don't be silly TiPZ, I don't expect any more than 10% (donations to be sent via paypal) (Insert winky guy).
To soften the paper, you need a bucket (a decently large one) water and a cap full of downy. Just soak the papers in the downy water for about an hour, dry them on a clothesline (preferably over your bathtub), and print them after they're dry. |

and also, wouldn't the water dissolve or ruin the paper? And when i put the paper in...how many copies of paper? more then 1? or just 1?, and should I just let it float on top or sink it to the bottom? | yep...soften it first, then print...as long as your carefull, it shouldnt ruin the paper. |  | |  |

I don't have pics right now - like I said, I have company till monday.
My method (not varified to be perfect yet):
Cut the paper into 3 equal strips (each strip should be 8.5" x 3.7")
16-20 Quart container
8 Quarts of Water
1 Cap of Downy
Cut the sheets into 3 peices per sheet and place the sheets into the water/downy solution. Let them sit there for 30minutes - then flip all the bills so the floaters get they're turn under water - wait another 30minutes.
You now have 2 options. You can dry the papers clothesline style over a bathtub and let them drip dry - or you can stick the bills between paper towels and let the towels absorb the moisture (I'm guessing that the clothesline version will be better, but I am yet to try it). \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/AFTER PRINTING\/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/
After the bills have been printed, put them in a clothes dryer with some dryer balls (seen below). This will take away they're crispness and give them a more "used" feel (remember: a used bill is a trustworthy bill). 
Dryer balls are basically solidified downy in the form of a mace-like ball. The spikes on the ball are important because they give the paper a "deep-tissue-massage" making the fabric softer.  |  |

Pixma MP 210 Special Edition
The thing prints like a champ after you figure out the Gordion's Knot of getting the ink cartridges installed. |

After the first 30minutes, there should only be a few papers left floating - then we flip and/or swirl the papers around to make them all sink - then another 30minutes. |

I found out that after heating cds , especially cheap or old ones , you can strip them.So can i somehow do something like hologram with this foil.Or shred it to pieces and mix it with glue or smth - will this work?  Of course , im asking just for educational purposes.

Yes, but with so few they won't have enough weight to sink them. If you're only doing a few, hold them down for a few minutes so they absorb enough water to make them sink - also I think the first 30minutes is enough if you're only doing 4 bills worth. |

I thought there was a difference between 25% cotton paper & rag paper? Isn't it rag paper that you need? I read that the fine recycled paper that was bought has some kind of finish on it? Did that paper work well? |

The mark is only visible if you hold it to light - and if someone holds it to light they'll see that the appropriate watermarks are missing. Either way, it doesn't really affect the final product. |

okay so lye is almost impossible to get where SWIM is from because of meth heads.
but SWIM found that a mixture of equal parts peroxide, denatured alcohol, paint-thinner, and mineral spirits will make ink run off bills much better than over cleaner or acetone
SWIM=someone who isnt me |

As mentioned earlier in this thread.. the ink comes off the ones but its WAY too difficult on the back.. front comes off clean and easy.. but all the green on the back.. it's just impossible.. stick with 5's guys. |

They can be used for the same thing, but I don't think they are the same. Yes, I believe hydrogen peroxide. I don't know if it works though. I do know the lye method works perfectly fine |

SO anyway i got the liquid version and it works perfect. and i actually had no problem with the $1 bill even though there is more ink on the back. ....maybe the liquid is stronger somehow?....i dunno, but im pretty excited...lol....tipz, i promise i will get the images loaded ASAP |

1. 2 quarts of water
2.added about half a cup of liquid lye
3.soaked bill for 45 min- 1 hour
4.soaked bill in hot water
5.immidiatly WIPED the bill with a soft tooth brush (you barely have to touch it and the ink literally starts wiping off, i think scrub is a little harsh of a word)
6. dry bill out
7. test print a bill, and tape the blanked out bill over the test print and put it through the printer
8.reverse bill and print back.
9. let it dry
10. instant money! |

Yes lightly "brush" I wouldn't say scrub. haha. As for the scanner. My scanner also did the same thing. Except only with the newer bills. It scanned my 1996 $20 perfectly fine. And I noticed it stops right at the eyes on the faces. Maybe that's why when you throw in a new 20 dollar bill in the microwave it burst into flames. Right at the eyes. How does the 25% 20 LB cotton paper feel after the downy soak? does it feel real? |
