Bill, firstly thanks for following up on this, I thought I had heard
to last to my question. From my queries locally I have been told that
the cheapies run at only about 120 degrees, from this group I gather
the H200 is red hot and that is the first requirement. I have some
PCB 0.25mm thick so I borrowed my son's laminator (a cheapie). I had
no success getting any toner to adhere even from Time magazine paper,
but with one exception, and that was from the oven paper suggested in
this group. Actually the toner was so lightly attached to the oven
paper that the finer cutting lines had fallen off before I had done
the process, I think a hot breath would have even worked with that.
So I have no doubts that good heat is a key to success.
So I need a cheap one that gets red hot, which brings me back to the
H200 or equivalent. Bill, if you can get any more info I shall be
pleased to hear about it.
In the mean time I will follow up on those two names you have
mentioned in your post.
Thanks Leon.
