RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Toner transfer paper from Hong Kong - poor packaging

2013-08-21 by Rick Sparber

Have you tried placing it in the freezer for 30 minutes to help weaken the
bond between paper and toner?

You just iron it or run through a laminator like with standard toner
transfer.  It's just a coated paper so that the toner sticks to the coating
just-enough to have a good image but once re-melted onto the board the toner
will stick to the board a lot more strongly so you can peel the paper off
without the usual soaking, scrubbing etc that you do with normal papers.
Note that reportedly Brother toners in particular have a higher melting
point than others.
