hello all~
my last 4 or 5 toner transfers have turned out really weak... i clean/prep the board the same way i always have... using steel wool>then mineral spirits... and my iron technique has worked perfectly in the past, but i have ended up using the sharpie to "retrace" all of thge traces... and have wasted a few blanks of baord(small bear kind)...

i am using a brother laser printer(1440) that i purchased for this reason alone... but the results are questionable... i populated a kay trem board the other night to find that it was worthless, a wasted of parts! is there a printer setting, or toner type/brand that might help me here?

i am seriously thinking about having express pcb make my boards, or even going back to perf.... i'm pretty frusterated, sorry for the rant!
best,

be well,
