Does the green TRF seal the toner better than the white? Is there a reason 
to stock both? I'm wondering if I can use the white TRF for etching. Nothing 
at all wrong with a black silkscreen...

Also, is Pulsar the only transfer paper that works? My wife thinks she saw 
transfer paper for pennies a sheet at the crafts store, versus Pulsar's $15 
for 10 sheets.

inkjet paper works well, see database section.

Mike,

Your wife is right. Craft stores do have transfer paper.... It 
transfers ALL image, traces and the remaining area as well. I mean 
ALL. If you wanted a PCB image on your t-shirt, that would be a way to 
go. I am planning to that :))  Mike

Totally different kind of transfer paper. That may be Tshirt transfer 
paper, it has a layer of inkjet receptive plastic on it that melts 
into the fabric when pressed. So you'd have a completely covered board 
with a nice image on it that can't be etched.

There is more than one kind of transfer paper. Can you find out the 
exact brand and name on it?

Which sounds perfect for a front panel label...
