Homebrew PCBs

Hello all, just a short msg to mention I finally tried the HP Presentation Laser Color Glossy paper.  That stuff works pretty darn good. I have used pages from magazines that worked good, but soaking the paper off after was a hassle.  By FAR the best I've used to date is the Pulsar paper - that stuff just floats off, but a $2/sheet, it's a bit pricey for me.

To bring the cost/board down I cut the paper to size of board so get several PCBs per sheet, then I also have used the same section of paper 2 or 3 times - just dry good between uses (yea, I'm a tightwad!)

Today I tried the HP Presentation paper - it had good toner transfer, and in hot soapy water it came off pretty good. Not as good as Pulsar, but at $15/300 sheets - a LOT less expensive.

Ken,
I use paper from Royal Brites.  This is not very good as
Ink Jet Color Paper but good at toner transfer.

After about 5 min. of soaking in cool water it will float off 
whole.
