Hello, Finished making the conversion of a Harbor Freight Laminator to do toner transfer using Techniks Toner Transfer film. The conversion, in addition to increasing the opening to the rollers as described in a previous post, was to remove the original snap action temp. controller. The snap temp. controller was replaced with a digital controller obtained from Deal Extreme, http://www.dealextreme.com/p/digital-temperature-controller-66334, as suggested by Tony Smith. Several double sided, 0.0625 inch thick, PCB boards have been made with good results. Techniks Toner Transfer film was used. The toner was put on the film by a copier at a local United Postal Service store. The original was generated by an ink jet printer. The quality of the original is important for the quality of the toner transfer using the copier approach that I use. -- 73, Mike, K4GMH [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
