Hi Stefan Trethan

Do you think that this maybe due to the fact that the paper is better "sealed" to stop the ink soaking in like a sponge and letting the characters therefore becoming less clear?
If true, then the better a paper is "sealed" (probably not the best word!), the better the transfer to the PCB I would imagine......

I wonder if a paper laquer (there are some around in spray cans from stationers to stop prints changing color too quickly or absorbing water) might be tried by someone, to see if that gives an even better effect.....

Has anyone tried inkjet foils? Or laser foils? They are plastic, theoretically they might "give up" their toner even better........apologies to everyone if this has already been tried out....

Thats my 2 cents worth....

Andy
