Homebrew PCBs

Did you get a temperature on the rollers at the exit point?

I've sorta settled on magazine paper for now - it just works too good.  The little bit of text I've had to transfer has not been a problem - seems like the acid etched thru it?  I don't remember, but don't remember a problem.

Still having fun!!  Ken H.

It acts as though it has plastic in it. After about the 5 passes, some chunks of coating were pulled from the photo paper. Maybe too hot?? I could not find any of the paper listed in our database by part number. Checked 3 stores. I suspect most of them have been obsoleted to something newer. Time to find something more recent.
