Hi,
has anyone tried this? I got some and it says you need to use it with a laserjet printer and it will not work with an inkjet. Is that true? Laserjets are around three times the price of inkjets!

that is why i've never tried it. but i think you might be able to use a pro copy machine? that way you don't have to let them go to waste, but you should check on that first. also you can get a laser pretty cheap at thrift stores sometimes or if you are very patient with ebay and are wiling to clean them up i'm sure something will come along. the good thing is i think the laser toner lasts a long time as opposed to the ink of an inkjet lasting for what seems like 30 prints sometimes. lexmark sucks

Try the Samsung ML-1740 or similar. Or get your copies made at Kinko's. -Colin |

with press and peel, does it have to be transfered
to the copper straight away or is there a length of
time that it can be left? im just wondering because
then id be able to use the lsaer printer at work,
rather than buying one. is there a general rule of
thumb or does it just depend on the manufacturer?

I've wondered the same thing about the gloss paper iron on method I've read about.
Can the print be left for any length of time before transferring, or does it have to be done straight away?

pnp blue and the glossy paper method a the same...
toner(form laserprinter or copy machine)is applyed on top then alyed down on the copperside of the pcb... by applying heat(with an iron) the toner (wich is just black plastic) will melt and stick to the copper...
using glossypaper is down because of the price of pnp blue (glossy paper is damn cheaper)..
it works wonderful with copy machines^^(you don´t need a laser printer)... and it can stay ont the pnp blue and doesn´t need to be applyied directly after transer....

(hopefully it is understandable^^)

is this said Glossy Paper the same as the Office Depot "Photo Paper?" http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?lev ... 20SuppliesJust making sure b/c there are sooo many types of papers out there, plus i've never tried that method. I'm used to the overhead transparencies, but not all of the ink transfers and i have to touch up the PCB with a sharpie. How efficient is the transfer using glossy paper? thanks |

I'm old school. I use drafting tape and dry transfer kits on a transparent sheet. When the origoinal layout is done, I take it to a photo shop and have it blown up 3x. The larger image shows everything that needs cleanup. After the enlargement has been edited, I have it reduced to origional size, proof it, and apply it to photosensitive board, emulsion side down to keep the edges clean. (keep that in mind when you talk to the photo tech.)
The rest is the same as with any photo process.
