John Snyder:

Photo of a part of a cold toner transfer.

Technique is as shown in the YouTube video.

Not perfect, but equal-to-or-slightly better than what I can get with hot transfer.

The important part for me is that it took me about 10 minutes to do the complete
operation, including a warm water rinse to peel off the paper backing.

And the process seems to be not as hit-and-miss as my hot transfer work.

I have not etched any of the boards yet, but I don't anticipate any problems.
I will use muriatic acid and hydrogen peroxide in a 50 to 50 solution.

I don't own a laser printer, so all of the laser copies are done at a local
quick copy shop.

I have no idea what type of toner they use or what kinds of printers they use
except that the laser printers a BIG machines. I supply the paper.

Of course, this photo is much, much larger than the actual board (about 8X), but it does serve to show detail of transfer.


Regards,

Roland F. Harriston
