Homebrew PCBs

In the testing that I have done with my home built press, I find that 120 C 
works just fine with HP 1300 toner.

The best results that I have had testing is by heating for a sustained 
period of 5 minutes!
I plan to do further testing, to see how pressure/time affects toner transfer.

A quickie web site of how I made my press is located at:

Hope this may help you in your development:})
