Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Toner Dusting pcb process

2008-10-13 by Myc Holmes

Len,
It is a pretty simple process as is.

The main problem is that working with toner powder can make quite a mess.
Have you ever refilled a toner cartridge? I would hate to think of trying to
put a loose toner coated pcb through the printer.

Mixing the toner with the ink creats the old problem of clogging the
printhead.
