Re: Sharing my success and lessons learned

I have used Staples Basic Photo paper and I did not encounter any 
problems of shrinkage/expanding. I did get some wavy lines, so now I 
only use straight down pressure. The only real problem with Staples 
paper is removing it from PCB, needs to soak and peeling off those 
layers is tricky. I would take me 30-45 minutes. The Hammermill 
Office One Business Gloss is much easier to remove( 1 -2 minutes).

completed a dbl-sided board due to this issue- The printout always 
looks great, but after ironing, the image shrinks/expands. I use the 
staples paper as well.
