Re: toner transfer limits

2012-03-23 by x100

Using 15 mill traces, I can get 100% (no breaks, no rework) results on the first try with magazine paper. The 8 mil traces were also completely intact, but I never tried a complete board with that size yet.  My only complaint is that I get paper fiber between some traces which must be manually removed with a needle.

I just tried HP presentation paper (from Staples).  I didn't etch yet, but the toner deposit looked much better.  The paper also lifted off by itself after about 2 minutes of soaking with not a single fiber bridge!
