Subject: Re: good media for toner transfer

Yours looks like it came out good. I saw some similarly priced stuff on eBay which was yellow, but I never tried it.

I do most of my boards with the photo-resist process now, toner-transfer was good to start with but it's hard to get a printer that does big area fills etc without leaving little holes everywhere. Toner-transfer is fast and easy and cheaper on boards with medium\thin traces and no fills, though.

I might buy some of that one you linked to and keep it handy ;)

Hi,
Looks like most here are using photo process, but in case anybody
still uses toner transfer, I can recommend a really excellent
materials, available on ebay. Last time I ordered two items from
different sellers to try, and both of them work well. Basically a 100%
transfer, without anything left on paper.

One of them was packaged much better than the other, but I am not sure
which of them :(

I have no connection to sellers, just a happy customer.
I have been using similar plastic-coated paper for years, but all the
last I had ordered did not work, until now.
I'm using modified laminator, then the board is cooled, and paper just
peeled off. Then it is etched in FeCl.
