Yo fellas im a newbie so please spare me the ridicule... well ive been
tryin out some methods to making homemade pcbs here and i must say
this is awesome.. well i have a problem /// i have a HP LaserJet
1100... im using staples regular photo paper that ive used before(on
another printer) and it has worked... The problem i have is that when
i try to print a pcb on the photo paper with my HP LaserJet 1100 it
gets jammed... ive read on a couple of posts that people have been
successful using this printer... can anyone recommend a paper that
wont jam ... or a specific method they used to make a successful
printing with photo paper using this printer.. i am able to print on
the back/non-glossy side of the photo paper prefectly, but when i try
to print on the glossy side... it just jams up... ive also read that
people use transparencies.. is it done with the same method as the
photo paper? well thanx alot in advance... i hope u all can really
help me cuz i cant afford another printer...
