Work is getting rid of a few old laser printers that still work.

What modelling uses could they fulfill? Can you use a laser printer to print directly on to covering - decals and numbers?

the printer.

In fact those printers have pretty nice El.motors and Gear wheels so you can
use them for Electric RC building.

With this system you can print and make your own dry transfer graphics for your planes (or other things). All you need is a laser printer.

One thing to note is check the cost of the toner cartridges for those printers. The replacement costs coult send you to the poor house if not careful.

If they work just use them to print stuff from the forum.
