Re: Glossy Ink Jet transfer process - while film?

I have used drug store isopropyl alcohol, on warm (not hot) boards 
and the Epson paper floats off in a couple of minutes (like 3 or 4 
min.) A small bit of white residue remains along the edges of the 
traces, a soft brush and a cork headed straight pin cleans this up 
easy.
