Hi, I've tracked down some photo paper that seems to work quite well for toner transfer. It's Staples own-brand 130gsm "Inkjet GLOSS paper, bright white". 20 A4 (210x297 mm) sheets sell for around \ufffd6. The UPC code is 3-141720-153458, and the Staples SKU code is 361690. It comes in a plastic pack with a resealable opening on the bottom. The label is yellow with red text. Transfer was perfect - approximately 60 seconds of heating (as per Tom Gootee's method) with the iron set to maximum, followed by a dunk in hot water with a little Fairy washing-up liquid added to speed up the soaking process. I used a Panasonic KX-P7110 laser printer set to maximum density, Toner Saver off, manual feed and set it for a straight paper path (basically opened the feed door on the back of the case). I used Protel Autotrax to design the board, LASER-PC to produce a PostScript file, and GhostScript/GSview to print said PS file. The only problem is getting all the gunk out from between the tracks - I think I need to find a stiffer toothbrush to clean the board with. A red (very important - the other colours aren't etch resistant) Staedtler Lumocolor permanent marker is perfect for touching up damaged resist before etching.
