I've just started using the cold transfer method with good results. I currently use (in U.K.): HP Laserjet 4 (with original HP toner) Xerox A4 Colortech+ Coated (Gloss) Laser paper Tetrosyl Standard Cellulose Thinners (from local motor parts store) Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) - Liquid form, not spray Ratio is 2:1 thinners to IPA. I've done two boards now with almost perfect results. It takes a bit of practice to get the timings and ratio's correct. Thanks, Phil. On 08/06/16 04:35, Cecil Bayona cecil.bayona@...
