Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Melting temperatures of toner

From: Jean-Marc Spaggiari <Jean-Marc@...>

Hi TDA,

I also have a Lexmark (E210), and a GBC laminator
(http://www.presentationsdirect.com/gbc-heatseal-9-creative-pouch-laminator.html)
and it's working very well.

I have posted some pictures of the results there:

Have you cleaned your board correctly? I'm using Vim (Cif) for that. I
clean it at least 3 times, then some acetone. Also, your board need to
be thick enought. I tryied with thin boards, and I had to add another
board below to be sure there is enought pressure on the laminator.
