We probably need just a few more details to help guess at what is
causing the problems. What are you using to fuse the toner to the
copper? I use a cheap paper laminator that helps to keep the heat
and pressure consistant. It was hit and miss with the clothes iron I
used before.
Some things to check: If I don't tack down the toner right off the
bat (especially on 2 sided boards), the paper moves and I get partial
drop out and the lines can look like they jag a bit when the toner is
done fusing. Another variable is the paper carrier. I use magazine
stock and sometimes I'll get sheets that use a bit more recycled
paper pulp in the mix and the result can look a bit fuzzy because the
paper isn't all that flat. If I make certain I have plenty of good
quality (high clay content)paper you should be OK on that part.
I've got a short write up on what I do at:
