Homebrew PCBs

Hi, Pete

I'm currently struggling with a Brother 2040 Laser printer that I got
specifically for this PCB work.  I'm currently trying to find the
right combination of media and temperature/pressure to make good
boards consistently.  I've been using Press and Peel Blue toner
transfer media with a copier, but their technical people tell me that
the "new laser printers" have toner with a higher melt point.

I've tried Epson Glossy photo inkjet paper...mediocre, but useable;
and 24 lb. clay-coated inkjet paper...great image, but it rubbed off
while soaking.

I'm trying Dennis' method using inkjet transparency sheets next.
