No. He's just identifying the type of paper. It is designed for ink-jet use,
but he is using it in a laser printer.

>>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...
