Couldn't resist trying this again, making a few adjustments to my method based on
MPClemens' last post. I still used a hair dryer on high heat to meld the wax to the paper, rather than the more adventurous toaster oven baking method...but it worked OK! Bernard is MADE for color casting.

Ungh...ironically, I do have a ton of uncorrected tyspos in 'ere. But I guess my point isn't utterly lost.

I know that this may sound goofy, but I like the ragged left edge. That and coloring makes the typecast seem a bit more dreamlike. Typing is so formal, it's nice to see the machines lighten up a bit.
Bernard's punch-through issues sound like Gomez's. It might be endemic to Olympias, as if they were all designed for an abnormally light touch. I really have to scale back when I'm using Gomez to keep from having a Swiss-cheese effect.
Verify: drant. What you say when you think you've made a typo while colorcasting, but can't tell because you're in stencil mode.
I get the best results from red-- it looks like that is your darkest imprint too.
That robot typeface looks fantastic. It's almost like it was made for colorcasting, what with the big, open design. No filled-in e's or o's here, my friend.
mp: Oh yeah, it's totally an Olympia thing. My yet-unnamed SM9 swiss-cheeses me every time I get too zealous with periods.

Looks great! I have yet to try this out. I have been busy busy busy. This weekend I will give it a shot on my SM9.
