Yeah, powder is as cheap as anything, you don't even bother working out the coat of what you used (unless it's the 'glow in dark' $$$ stuff. Clear is the...
I just bought a wireless laserjet printer from Best Buy, Brother HL- 2170W. And, Kodak paper Gloss Instant Dry 48LB 6.5 mil. I did an iron transfer, let it...
I searched for TT and got 1000's or returns, on this group and the web, so I thought I would ask here. I did a TT. Good results before. I have tried to peel...

I just use dish washing detergent to clean the board. I scrub it well in various directions with steel wool, which creates lots of fine scratches which may...

... Abrasion is the key. Personally, I use soapy water and fine grit wet+dry paper to clean the board prior to ironing. The soapy water helps to prevent any...
Well I am new to this group but I'll share what I've found with TT. I have gotten very mixed results with TT until I turned into a clean freak. I scrub my...
If you think about a while, you will realize that in the original "Xerox" process....... and our "Toner Transfer" is merely a corruption of that basic process,...
The majority of problems I have encountered with parts of traces not adhering are from oils or corrosion on the board, seldom a heat problem. Solutions - wash...
Richad H. I agree with most of your observations. Perhaps using a laminator precludes the need to preheat the copper clad. I use a household iron, and find...
A little different subject from most message traffic: Anyone know of a method to (hopefully easily) determine the copper weight on unetched material (probably...
Thanks for the suggestion(s) for determining copper weight of some copper clad material. I'll see if the old micrometer can tell me something. All three...
Use this. This information is readily availabe via a Google search. The copper in a PCB is rated in ounces, and represents the thickness of 1 ounce of copper...
I spent ages (years) trying to get TT working. I'm sure lots of people have found that irons, etc do the job, but after about 5 years of frustration, another...
I was using pretty much the same procedure (before Toner Dusting that is) Look for a laminator that has an adjustable temp setting. There is a Xerox branded...
I did use an iron to begin with. I think the advantage of a laminator is the even pressure and temperature across the board. I also don't get increased trace...
Phil Would the laminator you mentioned be the GBC Creative "Blue" *Part Number:* 1712730R This is a very inexpensive machine, to say the least. And you say...
Yeah I purchased the Office One paper about two years ago, so I suspect they don't make it anymore. Thanks for the update on the new Hammermill paper, but at...
Here are the details for Cu thickness & clad weight: Copper Weight: it defines the number of ounce copper on 1 sq. ft. area, such as 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 oz,...
I think the gray you see on the toner is clay. Most gloss papers use a clay coating on the paper surface. I have found that using a bit of dish soap and a...
