Re: Heatless (cold) Toner Transfer for PCB making

Hi DuWayne. Thanks for your added and slight variation on the original instructable.

3 Questions:

1) is your Hammermill paper of the glossy photo type or a different one?

I have a load of Kodak High Gloss Premium Photo Paper suitable for inkjet printers

Do you think that would work too. (I dumped my inkjet for a laser a while ago and get my

photos done by Costco - much cheaper!)

2) you said that you "flooded the back of the paper".

Was that with the Xylene/ethyl alcohol mix or with just the ethyl alcohol? What was the intent of that flooding?

3) how long do you wait after applying pressure and burnishing with a rounded tool before

soaking to remove the paper baking from the toner? Do you allow the alcohol/xylene mix to evaporate before the soak?


I plan to try this method as I was without a laminator and the hot iron method did not work for me with the Brother laser toner.

Thanks, Geoff.
