hi, according to the guys at; http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/I've not tried inkjet printer method, I use the press-n-peel stuff on my brother 1430 laser printer. It works quite well, although it doesn't leave perfect traces in places. Despite the time you leave the iron on (sometimes i take 10mins with it).
a couple of the traces can be a little jaggered or have breaks in them,which require a touch up with a pen. For this, I use fine tip paint markers (not pernament marker).
I think the best method, which of course is fairly expensive, is using photosentive boards and UV box. I used this method at school and certainly gives the best results.
hi, according to the guys at; http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/
the Brother laser printers don't work to good for toner transfer because of the toner brother uses.
I tried a Sharpie for that purpose once, and saw the photosensitive film just melt away from around the darkened line. Dry erase may do well, but don't use a permanent marker using solvents in the ink.If you get pitting with the laser transparency, you can darken it with a dry erase marker
1) What photosensitive film? I am referring to the transparency produced by the laser printer.I tried a Sharpie for that purpose once, and saw the photosensitive film just melt away from around the darkened line. Dry erase may do well, but don't use a permanent marker using solvents in the ink.
