Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] silicone paper

From: KD5NWA <KD5NWA@...>

I called a local office supply place, they told me they have silicone
coated paper that can be put through a Laser Jet. I will go down tomorrow
and see if it looks any good, it's supposed to be glossy finish.

If it looks ok I'll buy some and try it and see if the transfer looks any
good. I have the feeling though that it's a different kind of silicone, the
description said it's for use with Ink Jet printers and making high quality
color presentations.
