RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] other kinds of "catalogue" paper

2011-05-20 by Rodney Jackson

Just the usual thing ....like will it do the job on laser paper backed with
either paper or cardboard to give it some grip.  That kind of thing.
Anyhow, John, I might call it a night. Us oldies need our beauty sleep, even
though it has not worked for me in the past 70 years.
Possibly catch you tomorrow.  Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Rod

Just curious, what sort of question are you putting to HP about it?

Also, I was thinking that the "street price" is around $100.

Cheers,
John
