Hi Geoff,
(You asked if anyone had used Glossy Photo paper for
toner transfer.)
I tried the glossy photo paper after a member of this list
strongly recommened Staples brand, part number 19899.
It was the worst stuff I've ever used. I tried it several times
using different pressure, heats, etc and it was a "non-performer"
compaired to the much thinner inkjet paper I had been using. I used
my LaserJet-5000 to image both papers.
Best,
Charlie

Hi folks,
New here. I'm Geoff from New Zealand. Have been doing PCBs on and off for
maybe 35 years, first by resist-pen, then Bishop Graphics and Riston.
After a lull of many years have now tried Press'n'Peel (blue) with a
distinct lack of success.
Printing on Konica-Minolta C353 laser onto dull side of film. Good solid
toner coating. Ironing onto nice shiny clean board at various
temperatures, for up to 4 minutes. Film comes of leaving incomplete
tracks on PCB, some toner and/or some thin remnants of the blue film
coating remaining on film.
Don't know if a factor, but film was purchased over 3 years ago, so may
be quite old.
Here are some pix of my results ( some of film after pressing, and some
of pcb after press. Last pic is 3 patches done at the iondicated
temperatures.

Also, I see on YouTube others have tried a similar process using glossy
photo paper, and soaking off - anybody here had with success with that
method ?
cheers
