Hi,

toner transfer for compoent legend doesn't work well on single-sided
boards.
The surface is too shiny.
Until now i only used it on areas where i etched copper away (two sided
stock),
which leaves a ideal surface.

I tried roughening the surface, it worked somewhat, but not as good as on
a etched-away area.
Just a warning for those who want to try, better first try on double-sided
stock.


Also i want to thank the guy who suggested using thick drawing paper to
feed two-sided transfers.
It works like a charm. Sorry i'm too lazy now to look for your name and i
forgot it, but thank you.

I align the two printed paper pieces against the light, then insert them
in the folded drawing paper
and hold the three together at the folded edge with one hand. (leave a
broad border on your printouts).
the i simply insert the PCB and feed that folded edge first - works very
well.
