Harvey,
Why would you even bother to try hot transfer when you master the cold transfer?
To me, what Duwayne has accomplished is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT. I will not even consider
trying hot transfer ever again.

PS: I have been doing PCB for almost 50 years, and Duwayne’s process is by
far the best for DIY.

Even with rotating the board between passes, I usually had holes on end shifted over about a half pad or more. I also had to run the board through 3 times to preheat before applying the transfer pattern. Total time involved is about the same as when I used the laminator. Also I had to use a genuine Brother cartridge, could not get good transfer with generic cartridges. With the cold method I have not had any problems with either type.
