Re: Brother HL-2040

2006-07-25 by Kevin Morgan

Hi,

I've had some success with it using a techno 1910 laminator, and Kodak 
Ultima picture paper. Here's a photo.

I have had some bad transfers as well, and haven't quite figured out 
what the dependent variables are. Making sure the board is clean and 
dry beforehand helps, and using several passes through the laminator 
helps. I do believe that the Brother's toner requires a higher 
temperature to bond to the paper. However, with more passes through 
the laminator, the paper sticks to the board. Too few passes and the 
toner doesn't stick.

But, good results are definitely possible.

Kevin
