hmm the problem is that i'm quite far away from the next wally world (several 10000 km i guess), living in austria. but i will have a look if this particular paper is available here and if not i will buy some different papers.. but isn't photopaper for inkjet printers? or is this laser photopaper (i don't assume any laser capable of photo quality)? i have cleaned the board with alcohol, as it was quite new i guessed this would be enough. next time i may give it a rub with steel wool and see if it gets better. regards st 17.04.2003 19:17:04, kenneth magers <kenneth_m_73149@...> wrote: >i have made great board like this using the jet >printphoto multiproject-photopaper 60 sheets is 14 >bucks at wally world just set the print as dark as >posible and clean the board well let the board soake >in hot hot water till it peels off dont pull it will >come loose on it's own pin holes can also come from >uneven ironing and contamenents on the board >good luck >--- Stefan Trethan <stefan_trethan@...> wrote: >> hi >> >> i'm trying to plot directly to pcb for a time now >> and face a lot of problems. but yesterday i read >> again >> of the method with laser printing to paper / >> transparency and ironing it to the board. >> I have tried this some time ago when i read first of >> it and it gave very poor result. >> >> today i tried again with normal paper, the result >> was a bit better but anyways poor. >> >> I believe the toner layer which my laser printer (HP >> JL III D) is to thin. >> it also leaves pinholes on plain paper. >> The printer is quite old and the toner is a cheap >> remanufactured one. >> >> >> Has anyone here done this with a laser jet III or >> II? >> Would it help to buy the original toner? >> >> >> >> Which paper is best? >> I read everything from "kitchen baking paper" over >> normal 80gramm copier paper to the special glossy >> paper >> and ohp transparencies.. >> If anyone has tried several papers please answer.. >> >> Would the normal Xerox photocopiers work fine?
