[sdiy] very basic pcb

[Jerry Gray-Eskue]

The laser toner transfer is method is working well for me, the key is the
paper and a clean no oxide PCB.
I have some controls for my printer and set it to darkest - most toner +
reduce paper curl - lowest fuser heat.
I dish soap and fine wet-sand the PCB, not really removing copper just
burnishing it, rinse all soap off and wipe dry.
I have been getting the best results using HP Every Day Photo Paper (semi
gloss).
It seems less twitchy than the press n peel blue at a fraction of the cost.
