I got my sample of the Mega Electronics JetStar film this morning, and tried it out on an existing PCB design, as promised. It worked very well! My printer is...
I have the older ML-1740 printer that I use for toner transfer. It works very well, down to .010 wide traces. The toner in the factory supplied cartridges is...

About the FeCl chemistry, try the links section. I sure have seen pages describing the reaction, but i don't have any URLS. If it isn't in the links try...
Hi, reading the cool-amp MSDS... it consists of 40-50% table salt, 35-45% limestone, under 10% silver chloride, and the rest non-hazardous chemicals (secret). ...
Did some reading, and found a german page that lists several plating and electroless plating recepies. The relevant ones are: Versilbern von Kupfer/Messing ...

Hi Stefan, My buddy gave me an old (about 3 years) laser printer. He believe the fuser is good so I might have a fuser to hack! I will start pulling the...
... For what it's worth....I have a half bottle of Coolamp here, it was my "tinning" method of choice for a while. 4 to 5 year old tracks tinned with it now...

Datak says about Tinnit: "4. After plating, the cirucit board will have chemical residues that will in time dull or corrode the plating. To neutralize and...

There are a number of large components on the Circuit board near the connection point to the fuser. Several, what I believe are solid state relays - a triac...
What model/brand printer is that? About the solid state relais, the right triac must be right between one of the fuser lamp wires and mains power, so if you...
... I know. Have several unopened packs. Tinnit is probably the most cumbersome and expensive option in the long run. Another mixed bag of "chocolates". First...
Hi Stefan, THe printer is an HP2200dse. I will trace out the traces backwards from the power connect for the fuser. I looked over you schematic and I think I...
