PCB Troubles

2010-10-16 by william474@aol.com

I am trying to make PC boards using the laser printer/laminator  technique. 
 I am using an HP P1102w laser printer, GBC H220 laminator and  Pulsar 
paper.  So far I have used a couple of sheets of paper with nothing  to show for 
it except a dish full of floating traces.  Has anyone else used  this 
method?  I have the printer set at density 5 (max) and heavy paper  (for the 
Pulsar paper).  I have run the boards through the laminator from 2  to 5 times 
with little change in the results.  The paper floats off the  board along 
with most of the traces.  The circuit I'm trying to produce is  an LM317 
voltage regulator with about a dozen components.  Suggestions  would be most 
appreciated.
 
Bill
