Good afternoon to the group.

Back in February one of or members was geting samples of Dissolvo paper for toner transfer. Never seen any results posted. I am interesed in how it worked.

Thanks,Roger, WA4COL

All,

I have some of the Magic Dissolving Paper, and have tried it for Toner
Transfer. The Binder in the paper dissolves within seconds when immersed in
water, but the paper fibers are entangled in the toner, even worse than
found with other papers.

I too thought this paper had promise, but NOT.

This paper is fun for Kids and School Projects.

I have not found anything that works better than Pulsar Paper, see my
results on my web site. At about $1.20 per sheet, Pulsar Paper is not
expensive for small project when cut to just cover the toner image.


Regards,
Eldon Brown

I did, BTW, get around to trying "magazine paper" (in my case the Virgin Australia in-flight mag) - found a few clean white sections to use for a smallish board - and for those who have not used it: 

it seems to work the same as "plain-paper glossy" (presume the Staples and HP Pres are like this) but being much thinner doesn't trouble you as much in the removal. 

The actual transfer quality was the same - it can't do miracles and get 1mil traces out of my 16 y.o. laser, but hey!
