Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Which paper for toner transfer, traces and silk screen

2009-04-13 by Piers Goodhew

It seems to me that you get best results with an *inkjet* gloss paper  
that doesn't melt in yr laser: they have a very thin plastic coating  
(to prevent the ink seeping into the paper) and this does the same  
thing with the toner - stops it "soaking" into the paper (and bonding  
too well with the fibres). Obviously finding one that doesn't melt can  
be hours of fun.

I'm currently working for an epson distributor, but I haven't got to  
the S041140 yet, just trying whatever's really dusty on the shelves.
