Toner transfer.

2008-08-10 by liquias

Hi, 
i live in israel, and i need to make quite a few pcbs in the near 
time. i have made quite a few pcbs in my life (around the number of 
fifty) always using toner transfer methods ...

here in israel we do not have a very large varaiety of glossy paper.

i tried every glossy paper i could find (the best was office depot's 
regular glossy paper)(i cant get staples here and i hear ppl are 
swearing by it ...) after reading here that i might get lucky if i 
use ordinary glossy magazine paper i tried that also.

however, no luck, i do not get very good results with the glossy 
paper method:
a) toner does not always stick to the copper board.
b) peeling time is extra ordinarily long.
c) i get to know toner didnt stick right to the copper board only 
after extra ordinarily long time :)

i need to stabilze the process.
what can i do to improove my technique ?
is there a way to hasten the process ?
is there a way to use toner transfer and get better results EVERY 
time?
