[sdiy] rising cost of PCB's?

[Jerry Gray-Eskue]

So far the promo paper works the best for me also but I am looking for
something better, any larger area of toner transferred tends to have pin
holes. The tracks are good but I have seen other results posted on the web
that were excellent. Also some of the Gloss Photo paper I have tried
transferred very clean in some areas of the board but had removal problems,
lifted some tracks, and/or left a plastic looking residue behind.

As a side note I am using a Scotch TL901(Cheep Walmart Brand)Laminator in
place of the hand iron. I Will take a regular 1/16 PCB in spite of the
manufacture specs...

Semi-gloss 2nd hand 140gr/m2 promotional materials seem to match with
my Hoover branded iron set between the two and three dots.. damn, I
had to pay for the PCB, otherwise  it's all sorta free as BSD.
