[sdiy] Warning about PCB transfers

[Ian Smith]

I've been thinking about getting an HP P1006. It's about $100 at OfficeMax and good for my craptastic budget. Getting that would also mean that the local copy service wouldn't have to look at me like I have 3 heads when I ask them politely to copy my board layouts onto toner transfer paper... yes it's coated. no it won't jam up your machine. the last girl used the color copier over there set on black and white..... Oi!

> no matter how hot the iron is, how hard one presses the iron, or how long
