Homebrew PCBs

Did you freeze the paper after thermal transfer, or just soak in water. 
Freezing for 20 mins. to 1/2 hour gives a denser transfer and easier paper removal.

       I recently finished some etched Pendants.
 
 You can see sone photos here:

 I used the toner Transfer method and ferric chloride with
 good results . The etch is fairly deep compared to the usual
 etch depth needed for PCB but detail is still very good.
 
 
 
 I alternatively tried the electrolytic etch method with not
 so much sucess. I use canon Toner and it seems it does not
 hold up to a copper sulfate electrolyte. Its fine in
 chlorides though but the saltwater etch presented its own
 problems, a white precipitate forms on the etched piece
 eating the toner. Another member suggested HP toner. 
 
 I want to try making the electrolytic etch to work, before I
 get myself a new/used HP printer I wanted to ask here if
 someone can confirm the usability of HP toner or maybe has
 experience with the electrolytic etch method and copper
 sulfate?
