I do anywhere from 6 - 12 passes through mine. I use high-clay
content glossy magazine paper. My favorite issues are "GEO WORLD" a
GIS trade magazine we get in the office that no one reads --we only
had 1 project a few years ago that we played with GPS plugins.
Anyway it's a fairly high quality publication; unlike EEtimes,
ElecDesign and such. Low recycled paper pulp makes for more
consistant transfers. The Laminator I use is a Royal Sovereign NR-
900. It'd be nice to use the new Dynart laminator, but I can get by
with my current one--it really doesn't take that much to pass it
through a few extra times.
Anyway, here's a link to a CPU-board I did using TT(for the one
asking about a Z-80.) This one is a 80188(+) with RTC, FPGA, 2
serial ports. The crystal daughterboard is from when I was playing
with different clock frequencies; I changed it out a few times and I
eventually started pulling up the smt pads --even with the hot air
pencil. This board has been well "loved". The board was perfect
when first built --no toner dropout!; until I started tinkering with
it. The 32pin tsop (middle 32 pin flash socket) used 8 mil traces
and it came out great until I wiped it down with solder/solderbraid --
to coat the traces. A couple of traces were pulled up and I repaired
with stripped wire-wrap wire. Also there was a miswire also under
the socket. It was a test for a netlist for the 4 layer board to
come later (BTW worked perfectly as soon as the artwork cameback).
Anyway, I've clocked this up to 50MHz with no functional problems,
although I'm certain it was a RF noise generator. I wanted to build
another one, since I didn't take pictures when I first did this one;
but couldn't bring myself to drill that many holes again for vanity.
Anyway, your Z-80 should be no problem with a little care in layout.
