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

It works fine for chemical machining, just make sure you have a good paint resist coating on the rear. You can also do deep etching for brass nameplates.

 Hi Rick - thanks for replying...the
 process I'm interested in is toner
 transfer onto shim brass for single-sided photoetching... I
 realize you pcb
 guys only do a surface etch and undercutting is not an
 issue...is it?
 that's why I ask if this toner transfer method will work for
 etching...
