And of course everyone has a "fuser." There were lots of factors that went
into my decision to skip it. I looked at lots of articles and photos. Lots
of people have to try over and over and still end up with fairly crappy
results. Some people have reported good results with ordinary paper. I have
no interest in proving or disproving that toner transfer is good. I just
want boards with the minimum cost and hassle. I was only sharing my
experience. If you don't like it you can easily ignore it.
