Gary,
I too have tried various catalogs and magazines - often with good
success. The only "Catch" I have experienced is when the ink on the
page transfers to the PCB along with the toner. Turns out that the
ink is also etch resistant which of course creates some problems.
Now if we could only convince the magazine and/or catalog printers
to leave some blank pages for us, that would be super duper!
