Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Easy Fast Laser Print DIY Circuit Boards - Dave's toner-transfer freezing technique

Confirmed. I use this paper for all my toner transfer PCBs and brass plate nameplates, but was soaking in water with detergent and dishwasher rinse aid after transfer. The final white layer was difficult to remove, particularly on small holes and you had to scrub quite hard to remove it, risking damaging the thin tracks. Changing to freezing after transfer completely transformed the process, small hole centres are now clear of deposit on peeling.

       Malcolm,
 
 
 
 Thanks for the picture. Just to verify - you are able to
 deposit toner on this paper, thermally transfer it to
 copper, and then etch the copper?
