Re: First attempt at toner transfer

2016-05-30 by Tony Fishpool

Brad,

I completely agree with Craig. No need to use chemicals to clean the board.

I use this abrasive block:-

Although I use a laminator, your clothes iron should do the job OK.
I use magazine paper – travel brochures work consistently well for me – and they are free!

Some examples...

After laminating machine I drop the boards in a dish of water and let the paper turn to mush and gently stroking my thumb over it the paper just falls off leaving the toner behind.

Kind regards
