Hi Tom,

There is one here too:
http://www.geocities.com/thetonegod/etch/etch.html

It uses transparent sheets. Imade some PCB's this way lately and they turned out to be the best so far.

opps , i mean..........what type and brand did you use ?

[Nasse]

I think some people have reported "glossy" one works best, dunno about differences between manufacturers...

I've used Kodak Ultra Glossy with good results.

Hi Tom,

I used 3M transparent sheets for this. I found some leftovers at work, I'll check the exact type for you.

It works really nice, but there is a bit of practice involved. I used an iron on the "coton" temprature (this is not the hottest, hottest will melt the sheets)

Try to heat it as equally as possible. After some time the traces start to "smear" a bit. Stop immediately, let it cool down, and the sheet will come of easily. Touch up with an etch resistant pen and voila!

Bye,

Joep

cool joep!
   thank you very much :wink: did you use an inkjet or laser printer?
            peace,

You definately need a laser printer. This one uses toner that will still on the board after you iron it.

Bye,
