Saving Press N Peel Blue Transfer Film

2011-06-09 by schenckcharles

Hi

For the last few years I have been using Press N Peel with a Dell
1700 laser printer in my home workshop.  Results have been excellent, with little wastage of PCB material or etchant.  However, most PCB 
artwork is amaller than a standard page and there are always scraps
of the toner transfer material left over.  

I solved this problem by printing the artwork on a piece of plain paper,
then rubber cementing a piece of the Press N Peel, which is slightly
larger than the artwork, dull side up.  Excess rubber cement is rubbed
away from the edges.  Then the whole gizmo is sent through the printer
again.  Rubber cement is removed from the shiny side of the Press N Peel
Blue before ironing it onto the copper board.  

Just be sure that there is no traces of rubber cement on the sheet which
could contaminate rullers inside the laser printer.  

Hope this works for all of you penny pinchers out there!

Cheers

Chris
