Hi gang. This is my first time trying this method and I am having some troubles. First of all I am using photo paper and an iron to transfer component artwork to a PC board. The boards are thick 1/8" and big 4" x 12". Unfortunately the only large glossy photo paper I can find in Canada is Staples Photo Supreme high gloss paper - it says for Inkjet printers, but they assure me it works with lasers as well. I am using a Panasolnix KXP7100 laser printer with panasonic toner. I reverse print onto paper just fine. As directed on the web sites, I cleaned the board with scotchbrite and then acetone. I warmed up the board with an iron set to "wool" for about 4 mins. I first tried ironing the paper for 1 minute, then warm water for 10 mins but barely anything stuck. My next attempt was trying 5 minutes with the iron - but again, little stuck. Any suggestions? thanks Don
