No.. they print dark. I’m not sure if it’s some kind of weird illusion with the magazine paper. I’m going to try an ironing with one later and see what actually transpires.
I have another question – I did another transfer of some of the smaller boards I needed – and it looks great except just a couple of tiny spots. Looking at pictures of the original boards from SWTPC, it looked like they solved these issues by simply bridging solder. But I’m wondering if there’s another way.. is there anything equivalent to ‘touch up paint’ I could apply to spots where the traces are or risk being broken to stop the etchant there?

Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] First attempt at toner transfer
Do the same traces print lighter on regular paper? Sometimes the toner inside the cartridge is used up unevenly after some usage. Try removing the cartridge and gently rocking it to help the toner powder distribute more evenly. Print a couple of pages after that to make sure there's no clumps on the drum, then try your PCB pattern again.
