tt success

2004-02-23 by cdaw01

Greetings.
Out of a lack of interesting things to do, I attempted TT 
I tried about 7 different papers I had laying around, and came 
across something that is working really well. Cannon HR-101 High 
resolution inkjet paper, only catch is, it works best if printed on 
the wrong side, as the good side has a plasticy coating, that tends 
to stick to the board as well as the toner. When used backwards, 
it's kind of gripy to the laminator or iron base, but this seems to 
subside rather quickly, a quick dip in cool water, and the plastic 
film peels off in one piece, and the rest of the paper backing 
washes off quite easily. Using a clinky ole IBM 4019 (ebay for $25, 
at 300dpi, I'm printing .016 traces from eagle, and they are coming 
out solid, better than I could ever hope for printing film from this 
printer. I have an Optra R+ with 64M (6X9 at 1200dpi) I usually use 
for film, but I got this ebay deal - for a couple of reasons, It has 
a straight thru manaul feed, I was going to attempt to feed a board 
directly thu- but I'm not going to try that till the toner is near 
gone, way I see it It'll either work, or totally fudge the drum (in 
this case it's in the tonar cartridge and is replaced with a new one 
(like most laser printers) ot all the toner will wind up on the 
fusers brush.
