Yes, the iron has been working perfect for me up to the point when I
got some new PCB material. That's when everything went to hell with
the process. The process I was using that worked perfect was this..
Turn on iron - check with digital thermometer for proper temp
Put toner transfer paper on PCB
Press down firmly for 15 seconds
Repeat pressing in different locations to cover complete board
Soak board in water for 2 minutes
Etch it.
No problems, till I got the new PCB material. However, I can easily
see where a laminator or fuser can give much better and hopefully
consistant results.
