Hi,

I've been trying to make my first PC boards using a Samsung ML-2010 laser
printer and Staples basic photo paper. When I print the pattern on plain
paper and examine it under the magnifier, the traces come out very crisp and
clear but when I print them on the photo paper they come out looking kind on
ragged and rough on the edges. And of course that's what they look like on
the board. I'm assuming that this is a problem with the Staples paper. Can
anyone suggest a different paper to try with this printer? I've already
found out that I must use only an official Samsung toner cartridge and not a
3rd party or rebuilt cartridge to save some money. The quality is greatly
inferior for PC boards. Now if I can just find the best paper to use I'll
be ready for the next step.

Thanks,

Mark
