Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] My materials for "Cold Process?"

Mark:

I don"t own a laser printer.

My laser copies are made by a local Quick Print shop.

 I have used them for several years for laser copies for my hot transfer work.

I don't even know what kind of machines they use.
But evidently, they have used the same type of toner for as long as I have used them
to make copies for me

I always supply them with the paper I want to use.

Sorry if I missed it, but what printer/toner are you using? Can you reliably do traces of 10 mil or less?

I just walked in from my shop where I just completed another perfect cold toner transfer using
a 2 to 1 ratio of "Top Care iso alcohol 70% to "Equate" nail polish remover, 100% acetone,
from my local Walgreen's emporium.

The PC laser image is on  Office One "Business Gloss" 32lb. 92 brilliance (indication of glossy surface) paper.
This paper is  made by HammerMill Paper Co.

Next, I will try Office Max "High Gloss" photo paper, which is thicker and much glossier
than the above, but much more expensive.  This stuff works quite well with "Hot Transfer"
technique.
