Toner Transfer - Glossy Paper

2003-12-08 by bsjoelund

Hi folks,
I have been testing Epson S041126 Photo Quality Glossy Paper and it 
seems to work OK. Printer is Lexmark E220, High Contrast setting.
I use 320 grit watersanding and clean with acetone. I use std 
household iron, max heat for 1m30s with a heavy paper as *guard* 
between iron and photopaper. Immerse in handwarm water until paper 
backing comes off. So far only tested on boards with wide tracks on a 
powerboard, not so clean edges but I think this is paper residue 
causing this. Have to learn how to *clean* away all paper backing 
etc. before etching.

It is easy to do, but if it will work on fineline boards - I dont 
know as I havent tested this yet.

Bengt
