Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Laserstar & Jetstar

2004-09-27 by Les Newell

Hi Thomas,

I use JetStar film from Rapid Electronics 
<http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk>, order code 39-0780 for a pack of 
10. It works well for me with an Epson Stylus 670 + aftermarket ink, set 
for photo/glossy paper. The contrast is excellent.
