I prefer Press'n'Peel to the Pulsar product but the Pulsar TT
paper is good for silkscreens. I don't normally do it but
sometimes customers request it. The black toner shows up
reasonably well on copper and lighter substrates. I clear
coat it with spray clear enamel, otherwise it's somewhat
fragile to handle. And, you have to be very careful not to
get flux remover on it, or it's gone/blurred in a flash. It
can look very professional though, since you can put text
and graphics on the board. I try to do as much of that in
copper as I can (in copper pour or blank space) so that a
silkscreen becomes less necessary for assembly/operation.
