Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] silicone paper

2005-05-09 by KD5NWA

I called a local office supply place, they told me they have silicone 
coated paper that can be put through a Laser Jet. I will go down tomorrow 
and see if it looks any good, it's supposed to be glossy finish.

If it looks ok I'll buy some and try it and see if the transfer looks any 
good. I have the feeling though that it's a different kind of silicone, the 
description said it's for use with Ink Jet printers and making high quality 
color presentations.
