Hi folks,
I have been testing Epson S041126 Photo Quality Glossy Paper and it
seems to work OK. Printer is Lexmark E220, High Contrast setting.
I use 320 grit watersanding and clean with acetone. I use std
household iron, max heat for 1m30s with a heavy paper as ∗guard∗
between iron and photopaper. Immerse in handwarm water until paper
backing comes off. So far only tested on boards with wide tracks on a
powerboard, not so clean edges but I think this is paper residue
causing this. Have to learn how to ∗clean∗ away all paper backing
etc. before etching.

It is easy to do, but if it will work on fineline boards - I dont
know as I havent tested this yet.
