Hello,

I did my first toner transfer the other day. Did lots of reading on
it before hand.

I used an HP 1200 with a refilled cartridge and Burlington Photo
Semi-Gloss Heavyweight Inkjet Paper (00469).

I mention these details because WOW was it simple. The paper peeled
right off the board leaving great looking traces. The image was made
with eagle and the trace width was the default in the autorouter (.01
I believe).

It may have something to do with the fact that the paper is about 5
years old. Bought it a long time ago and never used it. I hope not,
because wow was this simple. No soaking no scrubbing nothing. I just
lifted the paper and it pealed right off leaving the toner traces.
Inspected the traces with a magnifying glass and don't see any
pinholes.

Just thought I would share.
