Hello Stefan,
Yes, that is right papaer. That is exactly what I am
using.
I just made a another perfect PCB...no pinholes, no
lifting-up of the toner...and besides that, I can't
even fingernail stratch it off. This is incredible. It
is really embeeded on the PCB.
The only thing left is the residue. (Yes, Stefan, I
put it in regular tap water in my sink, and then after
a minute or so...I begin to rub it of with the
underneath of my fingers...I do not let my fingernails
strach it...although I had tried to scratch it...once
it was dry...and I was amazed how that toner is a
'rebel' to come off!) I am wondering if anyone knows
of a certain 'chemical' that would eat it up!
I don't even have to pass it through the paper two
times. One time works great...although I have an
obtion with my HP1020 printer program, that
says...heavy. I am only using a black toner cartridge
in my printer...as it came like that, when I bought
it.
So I print as 'heavy' at I am still amazed. I keep the
iron on it around one minute. (I put a piece of
regular paper in between the inkjet paper and my iron.
Then put about 5 or so sheets of paper, under the PCB,
to keep my table from getting to hot.) Then I just
keep heavy pressure on it, and about every 5 seconds
or so...I turn the iron around into a different
position...to make sure every part of the PCB has
gotten sufficient pressure.
That's it, my friend!
...your friend, Patrick
