[sdiy] if You Make PCB's @ home

[s]

Hi guys-

if any of you make PCBs at home, I discovered a photo
paper that's great for doing a toner transfer of the
pcb design to the copper.

I found it at fry's, if you have one nearby. It's
called "Professional Quality Glossy Photo Paper For
High Resolution Inkjet Printers"

It's the cheapest paper they have- Cost's $3.99 for 20
sheets, but it's been on sale for $1.99 lately.

You just iron it on to the pcb, after treating it with
scotchbrite pads and cleaning it with acetone. You'll
need to iron on for between 3-5 minutes, making sure
each and every part gets lots of heat & pressure. Make
sure you press down with decent pressure.

But, I've made 2 boards so far with it, and it works
about perfectly. Plus, it's MUCH cheaper than the blue
transfer sheets.

Hope this might help someone...
