Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Printing on transparent paper

I don't think he's doing toner transfer, I think he's trying to
make a BW photomask.

I have never been impressed with HP's inkjet printers.

I have heard people say they print on two transparencies and stack
them to get a darker black for photoetch masks. I've also heard of
people using fairly transparent parchment paper instead of
transparencies, print mirror image and place image side down on the
sensitized copper board.
