Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Buying a laser printer HP P1005 or P1006 ?

2009-11-21 by Kerry Wentworth

According to Pulsar, Brother laser printers use a high temperature toner 
that is not suitable for transferring using a laminator.
If it was me, I'd get another brand.  Maybe at Goodwill for cheap.

I take that to mean gray-scale. As long as it can print nice thick lines, I figure it should be good enough for Eagle. :-) I'm thinking about picking one up so that I can start making my own boards.
