I have been using this method for a while now with pretty good results. Points to note though, Make sure PCB is really clean, I use a green scouring type pad and water to scrub the board firts then wipe with alcohol or thinners prior to transferring. I bought a laminator from this website http://www.dynaart.com/index.html and it works great, I also found a similar one at an office supply for 1/2 the price. At the same website they sell a roll of green plastic that you transfer on after the toner to help seal the toner...it really works. I have had fair results with their toner transfer paper, but am not totally satisified although it could be my printer, not the paper. I am using thier roll of white plastic to transfer a psuedo "silk screen" component legend and I absoloutely love it. Sorry if this is starting to sound like an advertisment but I am overall quite pleased with my results. They have small cans of translucent green paint that acts like a green soldermask, you spray it on the copper side, wait for it to dry and it becomes a solder mask, you can soder right through it at the pads and the remainder remains to protedt the copper tracks. I am goin to try different printers and also maybee the magazine paper for toner transfers as Thier TT paper gets expensive after a while. Hope this helps. David
