yeah its ded but heres a question......

2007-07-04 by timbomcnuckle

I think the proximity of the holiday might have alot to do with the 
lack of corrispondance.

 I am trying to figure out a way to get some light sensitive PCB's 
transfered. I have heard that one can simply print out the layout to 
a plain peice of paper and use that directly 'mated' to the bare PCB 
to effect the transfer process.? I don't want to waste a board trying 
this out so am posting instead! Has anyone had luck with this method 
of transfer? Most others would use some poly film or whatever else 
but I have none suitable and the stuff I do have cannot be run 
through the printer I don't think, else it melts due to the newer 
laser type printer I have to use since my old HP conked out this 
weekend.

 What are others thoughts on this process? The layout itself is 
intended to be fairly complex- most of the parts are small SMT and 
the whole reason why i am trying tghe PCB method rather than just p-p 
like I usually do!!!

 Also, does anyone know for SURE if I can print out 
a 'toner=transfer' layout using a newer styled printer,,ie. HP 
laserjet 1200 series? I'm going to try anyways but just wanted to 
check in advance to see what I can expect....

 Thanks in advance, jd
