I am finding the iron toner process so easy and predictable I am
wondering why some of you find it a problem. I am using Epson photo
quality paper, S041061 and after a 2 minute soak it comes off
completely, leaving no residue or paper. I found it better than the
cheap glossy I tried. I just did my first double sided board which
was also OK.

I move the iron around making sure I get the edges done. I don't use
much downward force, just enough to keep intimate contact with the
board.

My first board efforts, making some LED clocks, are at http://
