Andrew,

Small nit pick: laser printers don't lay down ink, they lay down
"toner" which is in fact a type of thermoplastic. When you say that
you are transferring the ink from the paper, that is a bit of a
misnomer...

Very true. I have used the terms toner and ink interchangeably, which
is not correct.


Jut a small nit from one who has used (or attempted to) a laser printer
to get good PC board results. Its often hard to get decent thickness of
the toner on the paper so the remelt with the iron works properly,
therefore, I have have started to use press-n-peel with greater success.
You print on this special paper, press onto the copper s normal, then
soak in water. Much better results with finer lines.
