Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Laser toner transfer & "blender pen" transfer

From: Stefan Trethan <stefan_trethan@...>

Hi

did today try the iron on again.
Damn thing won't work.
used different Papers (magazine).
Problems: the lines get sqeezed, turn out broader than they should be, but
very irregular.
also sometimes there are holes....
a straight line looks awful... lika a very bad scan or so.
may buy photo paper monday...


BUT - i read of something new:


http://www.solarbotics.net/library/techniques/buildpcb_trnsfr.html#blender_pen

Resist pattern applied via "blender pen"
This method comes courtesy of Jesse Willis: What I did was swing by my
local art store and pick up an Eberhard Faber Design Art Marker, Broad Nib
311 Colorless Blender (only about $2 US). With this, you simply photocopy
the circuit you wish, and then lay the photocopy face down on the PCB. Run
the marker over the back of the photocopy, and the image transfers to the
copper.

also read this message at the bottom:

does anyone has any idea what is going on there?
I assume this is some kind of solvent pen, but which, how, why, where to
get?

regards
stefan
