Look at the pictures he uploaded. It worked. No pinholes. My bet is
that even if all the toner doesn't transfer to the PCB, the fact
that it is being melted to the board without paper in contact with
the toner means that the toner will "reflow" or fill in where it
didn't transfer.
I didn't insult you. You insulted him by implying that he didn't
understand how a copier works. Man that pisses me off. How many
great ideas have we lost because some... person... spouted out a put
down and killed it? I wanted to say a lot more, but all I did was
call a snide remark a snide remark and pointed to your page where
you railed against people saying the same things about your ideas.
The proof is, as you say, in the pudding. Look at the pictures. And
before you go saying something won't work, why don't you TRY IT and
put aside YOUR wishfull thinking?
