I do anywhere from 6 - 12 passes through mine. I use high-clay content glossy magazine paper. My favorite issues are "GEO WORLD" a GIS trade magazine we get in the office that no one reads --we only had 1 project a few years ago that we played with GPS plugins. Anyway it's a fairly high quality publication; unlike EEtimes, ElecDesign and such. Low recycled paper pulp makes for more consistant transfers. The Laminator I use is a Royal Sovereign NR- 900. It'd be nice to use the new Dynart laminator, but I can get by with my current one--it really doesn't take that much to pass it through a few extra times. Anyway, here's a link to a CPU-board I did using TT(for the one asking about a Z-80.) This one is a 80188(+) with RTC, FPGA, 2 serial ports. The crystal daughterboard is from when I was playing with different clock frequencies; I changed it out a few times and I eventually started pulling up the smt pads --even with the hot air pencil. This board has been well "loved". The board was perfect when first built --no toner dropout!; until I started tinkering with it. The 32pin tsop (middle 32 pin flash socket) used 8 mil traces and it came out great until I wiped it down with solder/solderbraid -- to coat the traces. A couple of traces were pulled up and I repaired with stripped wire-wrap wire. Also there was a miswire also under the socket. It was a test for a netlist for the 4 layer board to come later (BTW worked perfectly as soon as the artwork cameback). Anyway, I've clocked this up to 50MHz with no functional problems, although I'm certain it was a RF noise generator. I wanted to build another one, since I didn't take pictures when I first did this one; but couldn't bring myself to drill that many holes again for vanity. Anyway, your Z-80 should be no problem with a little care in layout. http://myweb.cableone.net/wheedal/pcbconstruct/cpu3_7b.jpg And a writeup on my TT PCB method. http://myweb.cableone.net/wheedal/pcb.htm -Dal
