Transfers:
Xylene transfers work on some carving materials, but take care - the odors can be noxious.
Acetone Transfers also work on some carving materials. I have found nail polish remover in a pure form that includes acetone works well.
Heat Transers, with an iron work well with certain photocopies; however, some use different kinds of toner that don't work well.
