Subject: First toner transfer success

From: "jhalbrecht" <jeffa@...>

After reading a few tutorials I spent a day trying to produce a toner transfer PCB. Not much success at all and a lot of frustration.

Then I discovered Homebrew_PCBs! big <grin> now! Found some recommended paper with a part number, but what really did the trick was, after reading and re reading it finally sunk in and I had a thought. I was using an HP Color laser. Now there may be some way to configure it but I don't know. I went to Office Depot and found a Samsung laser printer for fifty bucks! Got it home tried the process again and on my second try had a great transfer. What fun. I blogged some pictures of the board with some Sharpie and Etch resist pen tests too: http://bit.ly/vqGHHl

Thanks to the moderator and all the participants. Nice informative group.
