Really cheap transfer paper

[MartyB]

A recent thread got me curious about Avery Label papers, so I tried with my toner transfer copier at work.  Only about 10-20% stuck for me.  My PnP blue was at home so I tried some plain paper,   and then a cover of a magazine.  It worked !    Here's an image (scroll down to the bottom):

There's no doubt many useable papers, better and worse, but I was tickled that this worked so well.  It was just the 'ol shiny paper cover of your typical magazine.  (some of the black lettering in the photo was actually magazine print, not toner).

i have a sheet of this and not sure what too do with it. I thought some one sd this can be used for labeling with etching? Otherwise the normal use it to transfer image? or something to make a board.

Im wanting to make label a box or 2. Is this making any sense?

Jimbob, Yes there was a really cool thread where PnP was used to make an etch-resistant mask onto an enclosure.  Don't know if Avery or photo or magazine paper would work. (For some reason I'm thinking of that song by the Flaming Lips...)

photo paper works! did it yesterday!  

i didn't heat it long enough, and the transfer was crap, so it's kinda ugleh... but where it stuck it made perfect print!

I bet boards etched using a kerrang magazine transfer sound better. The talent diffuses into the circuit board making it more responsive to playing dynamics and boosting talent by 100, if you use a back issue commemorating the death of jimi hendrix this number increases to 200. NME produces a good indie tone, use metal hammer if you want a "cheese" metal sound and use smash hits if you want to be famous for only 5 mins. If blues is your bag find the problem page in cosmopolitan magazine it will give you that crying woman tone.
