Toner Transfer idea

2005-08-27 by curtgood

Has anyone tried printing a circuit onto Reynolds Non-stick Aluminum
Foil, and using that to transfer the toner onto the copper pcb?  The
one attempt that I made looked pretty good, but did not try to etch
it. 

Transfer was rapid and all of the toner transferred to the copper,
leaving the silicone coated Reynolds clean, using just the wife's
electric iron.  The aluminum foil released instantly, no soaking or
rubbing required.

If you are going to use the wife's iron, be sure that it does not
touch the toner directly, or else clean it very thoroughly before it
is used on clothes.  :-(
