Re: THRU HOLE PLATEING

2008-01-16 by peripherin

Okay did some experiments with The Toner senstive foil. My general 
impression is that the toner needs to be really clean and that you 
need a lot of heat and pressure by that i means I had the laminator 
set to 250deg C. Just as a note I used a sheet of paper to protect 
the laminator rollers from getting stuck to the Foil. I have found 
that since switching to the laminator that i get far less problems 
with pinholes. perhapes it is because the laminator imparts far more 
pressure then I can with a clothes iron. I have also noticed that the 
film makes the edges of tracks rough and jagged which is not a 
particulary desirable effect. I do not surggest anybody pursues this 
as it give worse results then not haveing it.
