Re: Printing large PCB layout for toner transfer on A4 printer

2011-06-02 by Mike

Careful with the color copies/printers. I tried one here at work, and after 3-4 times through the laminator, it was one large blob, kind of like a Roreschark test. Some use either lower temp, or completely different process materials to do the full range of colors. I would stick with B/W laser printers when possible.
