I read on the internet about using label paper without the labels to
transfer the circuits. Pull the labels off, then run thru a laser
printer. I have small circuits and can fit several on
a 4X6 pcb board. The first time I tried it, I used Avery 3 across
labels and out of 12 circuits on the board, 6 were useable and the
lines were pretty sharp. The circuits on the outer edge didn't seem to
transfer very well and were missing traces. Then I tried the Avery 2
across label and when I did the transfer the circuits seemed more
fuzzy. This time, I ironed the copper board hot, then put the paper on
it and ironed for another 3 or 4 minutes. On a 4 circuit sheet, I only
had a couple that seemed to be ok to use. There seems to be some pads
that are touching under a transister that I can correct. Has anyone
else used the label paper. Are there some tips that anyone can give to
make this more of a science than an art?

Thanks
