Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: good media for toner transfer

I agree this stuff works but the toner is thin, often with micro holes which can cause the etching to leave a sand like effect. A work around is to apply heat at a lower temperature and reduce pressure. Of course the PCB must be dust free and really clean.

Toner-transfer is fast and easy and cheaper on boards with medium\thin traces and no
