Rob: Yes, I've used it for a while. It works fine. To avoid laser printer roller drum damage be sure keep the copper edges down. I have used Scotch tape but high temperature polyimide tape is the best. Also use a fully charged toner and set the contrast up for the best resist action. This stuff works much better than the iron-on stuff - that is too low in resolution and smears easily. - Wayne Foletta BMI - Saratoga, CA > ---------- > From: Rob Zitka[SMTP:robzs@HICOM.NET] > Reply To: pic microcontroller discussion list > Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 1998 8:28 PM > To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: New PCB etching technique... > > Hi, > > I was wondering if anyone has tried (and been successful with) the PCB > trace making method described in the November 1997 Electronics Now > article? > A laser printer was used to print the trace onto a piece of > paper-backed > flexible copper sheet.
