Direct toner print

2006-11-16 by Lez

Ok I had asked about direct toner print and was told of all the
possible problems with the HV static holding etc so I stuck with TT

well after doing all these boards
(http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tinabriddon/pcb/boards.jpg)to get 2 good
ones I decided I had had enough of TT.

SO, using a sheet of a4 as a carrier, I sent a sheet of tin foil /
baco foil / alu foil call it what you want, into the laser printer.

I put my fingers in my ears for the inevitable bang, and waited,
nothing, no error, paper fedd through......

Print quaility looks good to me, have a look here.

Now I need to modify the printer to flat path and I think I can just
feed boards through.

may need to build a carrier for small boards but it should be ok for
pieces of 8 inch in length as it is at the moment.
