Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] First attempt at toner transfer

2016-06-09 by rolohar@...

John Snyder: 

I just follow the process as shown in the YouTube video. 

I played around with xylene, but my wife had problems with the fumes. 

There was Walgreen's 70% iso alcohol in the medicine cabinet.......so that's what used 
And my wife had some fingernail polish remover (acetone), so that was used. 
After she kicked up a fuss about me using her "personal" stuff, I got a quart of 
acetone from the Home Depot hardware store paint department. 

I just got tired of messing with around with the hot iron and all that stuff. 

I go to a copy shop for laser copies. 
I supply them with the paper I like to use. 

Regards,

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
