RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] First attempt at toner transfer

2016-06-15 by Brad

I did order some of that stuff.. and yeah, it takes a while – stuff from China usually is 8 weeks.  Ugh!  Be interesting to see how it differs from the magazine paper.

You could try a paper meant for the job, just takes a while to arrive,but is not expensive see:

Here’s a weird one.  You guys saw my successful
transfer image – with two of the four boards required to
build a TV Typewriter shown.  Those print perfectly onto
magazine paper via my Laserjet 4250.  But for some reason,
the motherboard won’t.  The motherboard is twice the size
of the other boards and it has relatively large black traces
that span long distances.  For reasons I can’t figure
out, when I print it to the magazine paper, it comes out
with some traces faded.. ie. not enough toner.  Usually
around the same spot.  Yet if I print it with regular
paper.. it’s fine.  Not sure what the remedy would be
here but I’m open to suggestions.  Not being able to
print the mainboard is a bit of a problem.  Brad
