Are you doing toner transfer, or photoresist?

For toner transfer, there is a table in the Database section of the list. Everyone should be adding their laser printer with results good or bad, type of paper, if it is OEM toner or not, that sort of thing.

Thanks for the database pointer, Steve. I haven't been very active on on the group lately. I just added a line to the table regarding my decent results with the Brother high temperature toner issue and my success with Harbor Freight catalog paper (lightweight, not really glossy, but not newsprint). That's freer than free...you get it when you don't even want it sometimes :)

I made some posts a couple of years ago when I got info from Techniks customer service regarding Press N Peel blue and then-new higher temperature toner issues with some printer manufacturers.

Regards, Ted
