Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] First attempt at toner transfer

John Snyder:

I just follow the process as shown in the YouTube video.

I played around with xylene, but my wife had problems with the fumes.

There was Walgreen's 70% iso alcohol in the medicine cabinet.......so that's what used
And my wife had some fingernail polish remover (acetone), so that was used.
After she kicked up a fuss about me using her "personal" stuff, I got a quart of
acetone from the Home Depot hardware store paint department.

I just got tired of messing with around with the hot iron and all that stuff.

I go to a copy shop for laser copies.
I supply them with the paper I like to use.

That’s interesting,

Did you use that with Acetone?

Can you please give us the mixture Ratio

and the type of printer / cartridge

and if it was original equipment manufacture or not?

I have had good results with 70% iso-alcohol from Walmart.

 

The alcohol acts as a cleaner only, So, most types will serve this purpose.

 

The actual "transfer" medium is the other ingredient.

 

Good Luck
