My current project is a triptych in encaustic. Below is an example of wax transfer.

The initial drawing is done on paper, then reverse photocopied. The paper is then pressed into warm wax and burnished. After much burnishing, the paper is dissolved/rubbed off with water. Eventually all that is left is the laserjet toner in the wax. It is a useful technique when working with encaustic if you want to depict something detailed or complex, as you have more control on the finished product as you're not drawing directly into the wax.
