Brother Laser Printer image on water-soluble ink magazine paper-Not bad at all

2006-06-16 by kilocycles

Ok, I just scanned and added the image of a frequency counter board to
the Photos section, "Ted-KX4OM" folder.  I used a magazine page with
vegetable-based (smudgeable) ink this time, about half-glossy paper. 
Much better results with this one.  Some of the paper peeled off after
an hour's soaking, but I had to vigorously rub the other areas to
remove it.  Finally, after seeing it dry, there were a lot of
fuzzy-fiber areas left, so I rewetted it, and dragged a Scotchbrite
pad across it.  No toner came off, so it must be pretty well fused.

From the scanned image, I can see at high resolution on my PC screen
where I need to touch up traces.  Then I'll try Myc's flash fusing
method and etch it.

Cheers,
Ted
