RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] DIY PCB with press and peel blue.

2016-07-01 by Tony Fishpool

Mark, by “media” do you mean paper?
 
I use paper from Viking River Cruises brochures. They send them to me for free!
 
This is a board I made for an Arduino Nano:

As you can see, the process is good enough to etch labels and pretty narrow tracks. I have the temperature set to “max”.
 
As we now have similar laminators. Mail me offline if you want to compare notes.
 
Kind regards
Tony G4WIF

Hi Tony
Thanks for that. I've made an offer close to the asking price. I'm really hoping it proves better than the iron. What media do you use to transfer the toner? The board I did looked really well and if the layers lined up it would have done but they didn't so that was that. What really peeved my off was the inconsistency in the printing, too difficult to draw in missing tracks I wasted more of the press and peel blue paper than was expected.
 
Regards
Mark
