Homebrew PCBs

I've only got an InkJet printer so I'm looking for an adequate laser
printer.  Is this model up to the task of decent trace quality with
1200x1200 dpi?

Can I use that for SMD laster, or am I limited to thru-hole with this
resolution?

Objet : [Homebrew_PCBs] New paper for TT! Reynolds Parchment Paper


With all the recent discussion about coating paper with RTV or 
buying silicone sheets, I decided to try some other commonly 
availible  (and cheap) coated papers.

While doing my grocery shopping, I found a roll of Reynolds 
Parchment Paper. It's commonly used in baking to prevent sticking. I 
figured for $2.75 for a 30 sq ft roll, it was worth trying.

I was pleasantly surprised. It went through my old laserjet IIP+ 
withput a problem. Ther was decent adhesion the the RPP by the 
toner. Much better than using label backings. And a few runs through 
my GLC laminator transferred the toner to a properly prepped board. 
I waited until the board had cooled and hestiantly peeled the the 
RPP. I was amazed it came off very easily. No water needed.

After etching, the board was a good or better than any 
photopaper/inkjet paper I had tried. Best of all no water needed to 
remove the paper!

This is definately the paper to use. It's inexpensive, easy to use 
and is works.

No, this is not spam, I have no stock in the Reynolds Metal 
company. :)

Definitely try the Reynolds Parchment Paper.
