I had several of those yellow ones, most of them did not work at all. Some of white papers did not work very well too, seems like the plastic coating was not uniform.

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.
