Homebrew PCBs

I own a Brother HL5140 which worked well with the famed Staples paper.
 I know that printer doesn't take the same print cartridge as the
5040, but I thought I would just let you know that you were probably
close!  The right paper made all the difference.

I tried the office max paper too - it has some kind of resin which
will NOT come off.
