Subject: How thin can you do traces with toner transfer method?

From: "Eugene Michael" <eugenemic@...>
Date: 2006-11-30

Hello,

I am making a board using the toner transfer method, using the Staples
471861 glossy paper. I am laying this out with the EagleCAD
application.

What I am wondering is what kind of trace width I can reasonably
expect to be able to render with acceptable results. I'm probably
looking at about 25 or 50 mils right now, and would appreciate any
input into what widths you are able to go down to using the
paper/toner transfer method.

Thanks,

Mike
