Homebrew PCBs

I didnt need you to reiterate to me, that I made a mistake, I had already shared that. Thank You...

Oh and I do own an Ink Jet. Oh and lots of things us DIYers do go completely against the instructed use of the materials we obtain. So I will share again. To all dont use Iron On Transfer Paper in You Laser Printer.

I am rather handy with my tools machinery, I should be able to clean my laser printer for use with no problems. Immediately after I made the mistake I ran a print job of about 10 pages with just a dot to print to help this cleaning process be easier. By the last sheet it was looking pretty good. But I will see when I try to use it again tomorrow.

At that point one should ask onself the question, do I own an inkjet
printer..... .

You may have to bin it, because cleaning the gunk off may actually
damage the heater roller, mine has a thin rubber film to it.

> I then tried to use this in an ink jet printer and transfer it to the PCB, this did tansfer but it transfer plastic in between all of the traces, this would be resistive to the copper etch and wont work.

Yes thats what happens, its useless for toner transfer, and useless
for any kind of board experiments, unless anyone has had any success
with optical methods with it.

Sorry to hear this but I think it actually says on the packets nott
ouse it in a laser.
