Subject: RE : [Homebrew_PCBs] Testing Parchment Paper

From: Robert Hedan <robert.hedan@...>
Date: 2005-05-27

I didn't have a 'smearing' problem, it was missing pixels. I checked the
results again, my eyes were killing me when I was testing. :) And I'm
missing more than just several pixels on the parchment paper, I'm missing
quite a lot, but the adhesion to the paper itself is very good.

I tried various media settings, but all with same results; plain paper,
transparency, envelope, postcard and thick paper. I paid $99CAD on
liquidation at Future Shop so I didn't really expect high quality results.
This laser will turn into my ordinary work printer 'cause my Canon MP730 is
guzzling ink like my '81 Fleetwood.

I have the Konika/Minolta 2300DL color printer. I found with anything but
standard paper I must adjust the paper type setting to get full adhesion.
Printing on label stock with regular paper settings would cause entire areas
of toner to come off between drum and fuser, where they would get restuck
somewhere else and make a mess. Telling it I am giving it labels makes all
the difference. I suspect the same would help your parchment paper.
