My materials for "Cold Process?"

My materials for "Cold Process?"

2016-01-18 by Kirk Kleinschmidt

Hi, gang,

I'm going to pick up some glossy printer paper this afternoon (it's ONLY -10F today!), and I'm wondering whether my initial materials are a good fit for the process.

From Sally Beauty Supply I previously bought a quart of pure acetone. Should be good.

From the "real" pharmacy I have a couple bottles of "99% isopropyl" alcohol. Should be good, right? Or does it need to be "ethyl" or some other variety of alcohol?

I have four laser printers on hand, from old to new, so I should be able to find the "right" toner...

Thanks, as always,

Stay warm Kirk!

Hopefully you will do the testing at normal room temperature J

I just walked in from my shop where I just completed another perfect cold toner transfer using
a 2 to 1 ratio of "Top Care iso alcohol 70% to "Equate" nail polish remover, 100% acetone,
from my local Walgreen's emporium.

The PC laser image is on  Office One "Business Gloss" 32lb. 92 brilliance (indication of glossy surface) paper.
This paper is  made by HammerMill Paper Co.

Next, I will try Office Max "High Gloss" photo paper, which is thicker and much glossier
than the above, but much more expensive.  This stuff works quite well with "Hot Transfer"
technique.

Thanks for the specific information.

Can you also tell us the printer and if it has oem toner or not

And an idea of the line width  and spacing size?

Sorry if I missed it, but what printer/toner are you using? Can you reliably do traces of 10 mil or less?

Mark:

I don"t own a laser printer.

My laser copies are made by a local Quick Print shop.

 I have used them for several years for laser copies for my hot transfer work.

I don't even know what kind of machines they use.
But evidently, they have used the same type of toner for as long as I have used them
to make copies for me

I always supply them with the paper I want to use.

Sally Beauty Supply is (at least was, last I checked) a good source for Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) in greater concentrations than the drugstore 3%.

Thanks for the "Sally Beauty Supply" product.
I never thought about the stuff they use to create "beautiful blonds"

At Sally Beauty they call their strongest hydrogen peroxide "Salon Care Maximum Lift 40 Volume Clear Developer."

FYI, "40 volume" = a 12% hydrogen peroxide solution.

It seems to be on sale now for $1.50 a quart = good deal :)

There is a "Sally" located about 5 miles from my home.

What ratio of the 12% hydrogen peroxide to acid do you use?  How long does a typical etch of one ounce copper take?  And how often do you have to “rejuvenate” it?

Thanks,

Another source for many of the chemicals is Home Depot, in the paint section. I know you can get acetone, xylene, denatured alcohol, and such there. They usually carry muriatic (Hydrochloric) acid for swimming pool use. I have heard that Safeway carries 99% Isopropanol alcohol in the cleaning section, or you can make your own 99% from 70% very simply by "Salting Out". A Google search for salting out alcohol will give the details, but basically you add lots of salt to remove the water and skim off the alcohol from the top. This does not work for any other type of alcohol however. Methyl Alcohol (Methanol) can probably be found at Home Depot (use with caution, ingesting it will cause blindness). If you need high purity Ethyl alcohol (Ethanol) some states sell it in the liquor stores in Everclear brand (look for 190 proof, 95% alcohol). 200 proof Ethanol is available, but not easy to find since it uses hazardous chemicals to remove the last bit of water and is not meant to be consumed.

I've used 12% peroxide. Be very careful using it and do it in a well ventilated area, preferably outside. The reaction is very exothermic and etching can be complete in < 1 minute. I finally went back to the 3%, often using a sponge to hasten and make the etch more even.

Thanks for the heads-up. My etching will be done in an open-doored garage. At -18F, a little exothermic etchant might be just what the doctor ordered!  :)

Know what else is exothermic?

300,000 gallons of five-year-old liquid hog manure in three giant under-barn pits...  Guess I won't be making an offer on that farmstead!

73 for now,

It also produces lots of gas which isn't at all good for your lungs.
