Homebrew PCBs

I think the main reason folks want to find an alternative method is that some laser printers, such as Brother, seem to not work well for the laminator method. I have never been able to get the toner to completely transfer from my Brother 1440 HL. Some or most of the toner remains on the transfer paper, and I have tried many types of paper and techniques. It appears the toner melts at a higher temperature or something.

     Can't say I understand why hot transfer gave u registration probs unless 
you did separate passes for each side.
I hot transfer both sides at once so there are no registration issues.

I still prefer hot transfer since I can do foiled silk screens etc and 
it is faster. Also no fumes to speak of.

Then again I have the single pass Apache AL13P PCB laminator to do a 
transfer in one go so there are less steps to do it.

Print, place on PCB...one pass transfer - including double sided (corner 
pinhole alignment with vias) or toner silk screen on one side ..all in 
one pass.
No volatile chemicals really. Just an isopropyl wipe on the PCB before 
transfer.
