Press n Peel not working

[Cardboard Tube Samurai]

Congratulations!

Handy tip: sheet of paper over the board+PnP, so the PnP won't slide.

The paper that comes with Iron-On T-shirt transfers would be ideal for this!

I never use PNP, always use inktjet picture paper:

-for me it's about 20 times cheaper (central Europe)
-you can keep your iron maxxed out and never will overheat the transfer
-the paper peels off by itself afterwards

Use inktjet picture paper with a "papery" back, not synthetic otherwise your iron will stick to the metal.
Essential extra step is punching the tonerless white areas with a needle or exacto knife, especially in places where the traces are close together. This punching trick will help the air to escape from underneath the toner fast and make for strong and fast adherence to the copper.

in the last 10secs you can see the paper came off by itself, all traces perfectly intact

good luck

Just to clarify, is that using toner or ink?

[Paul Perry (Frostwave)]

It's using toner, but the paper that the toner image is printed on, and whihc is ironned, is the paper that is specifically intneded for inkjet printing.

So that is where the confusion is, the paper is "inkjet paper", but you print on it with toner.

I've made the comparison and picture paper labeled 'for inkjet printers' peels off much better. There is a difference between these two types of paper: picture paper 'for laser printer' has to withstand the heat inherent in the laser toner process. Toner needs heating before it can be used.

If you put both thorough a laser printer or xerox machine (it's the same process), you'll notice the inkjet paper reacts a bit to the heat, but nothing serious.

The ease with which the material you use releases from the copper board, you will find, is an important criteria.
hope this helps..
