Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] PL2000

From: mickeym <whitemouse@...>

I bought a PL2000 laminator and tried a couple of things.

The first was a single sided copper board with a top layer parts
outline, the pcb material was very thin (maybe 0.030) and I used
magazine paper. It actually turned out pretty good, except large fill
areas were weak and a couple of the traces smeared.

The second was thick double sided copper (0.060) using magazine paper.
It seemed to go okay at first, but it started to bind and damaged the
paper. I ran it through a couple of times anyway to see how it might
look, but no toner was transferred at all.

I'll try photo glossy paper next, and will probably modify the case a
little.
