Homebrew PCBs

I just follow the method shown on the YouTube video. 

I like the toner transfer method because it seems that I can be very slopply in using it and 
still get consistent results. 

I don't own a laser printer, so all of my copies are made by a local copy shop, and I 
assume that they always use the same type of toner in their machines. 

I had good results from their copes when I used the hot transfer method, 
but now I use cold. 

I don't make many boards per month, and most of them are less than 4 x 5 inches, so cold transfer is ideal for me.

That’s interesting, 

Did you use that with Acetone ? 

Can you please give us the mixture Ratio 

and the type of printer / cartridge 

and if it was original equipment manufacture or not?

I have had good results with 70% iso-alcohol from Walmart. 





The alcohol acts as a cleaner only, So, most types will serve this purpose. 





The actual "transfer" medium is the other ingredient. 





Good Luck
