Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Another VERY CHEAP paper that works pretty good....

From: "Stefan Trethan" <stefan_trethan@...>

People have reported good results before with paper from magazines and
catalogs.

Personally i prefer to have sheets clear of any printing, and i don't mind
the price if i can get the same paper each time.

PS: Chris, didn't get the printer or ink today. Asked seller of the
printer why it isn't here and for the tracking number. Expect the ink is
held up at customs. But i got the syringes so at least i'll have those at
hand then.
