Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Toner transfer paper type

2012-02-03 by Donald H Locker

The print on the magazine pages is an oxygen curing ink that doesn't melt when heated.  The toner from the laser printer is a pigmented plastic material that does melt with heat.  Suggest you try a few magazine papers before going on the quest for the perfect paper.  I quit trying to buy the perfect paper after trying magazine.  ULine catalog, IIRC.
