Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] DIY PCB with press and peel blue.

Some great advice here guys, I'll try anything to succeed as for me a nice DIY pcb. is a thing of buty.

I'm looking in to pressing with a laminator but have to do the homework as don't want to buy one no good for the job. I'm from the uk. so wanting to shop around here.

As I said before my first double sided yet simple board eventually came out good enough (other than lining up the tow layers) but it's too expensive probs works out at £3-4 per sheet and I've gone through a pack to get my first board.

As for the drilling I've looked at using a USB. microscope below the table with a crosshair software to view. Any thoughts?

Over the years whilst being a silent observer of this group IVe seen many talk about glossy magazine as a transfer media. But today as I arrived at work I looked to see if we had any glossy coated laser paper, unfortunately not. I need to look and see where to purchase this from and pulsar, I'll give it all a go until I'm happy.

Regards 
Mark

I thought the whole point of press and peel was that it was supposed to be easy?  Not sounding easy!  I actually bought a bunch but now am kind of wondering if I might regret it.

 

I’m finding just printing to Hot Rod Magazine pages and being patient with ironing gives me pretty close to 100% results these days.
