Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] What takes off that 'residue' left behind from the toner using inkjet paper?

Hello Sir Myc,

Thank you very much for your advice. I will do as you
say.

I just bought my laserjet and am using inkjet paper,
and everything is coming out fine. It's just a little
tough getting that 'film' off. But I will definately
give that a try. Thank you again!

a friend,

Patrick
