Homebrew PCBs

Hi iR

What kind of paper are you using that this process removes the paper.

Iam new to the group and my first board didn't work so well.

Iam using a Lazer4L printer and normal 80g paper. I ironed it onto the
board and the image did transfer, but it wasn't very clear and after
etching the tracks were not of equal size.

Iam doing things correctly???

Thanks
Gary

residue, after toner transfer!


a while back i discovered 'THE BEST" way to remove the papaer residue

**Ammonia based windows cleaner**

also, before you do the iron on, clean the board with window cleaner -
works much better then meths, and unlike steel wool, doesn't take any
of the copper of with it

anyhoo... after ironing, take a blade from a craft knife and seperate
the backing of the paper from the coated side. it's very easy - the
coated side is stuck down firm and the paper back isn't. peel it all
off with the blade. now then, normally you'd think to soak the
remaining paper off with hot water for 20mins or whatever - don't
bother! spray the board with window cleaner making sure it soaks in
properly - which it will do much better and faster (re:instantly) then
water does. now then, no waiting around, no soaking for minutes,
simply rub the paper off! use a sponge, a dish brush, your finger,
anything! it'll come off easier then you could have imagined

hope this helps you all
cheers
iR
