I'm trying desperately to use the (seemingly) popular toner-transfer method of etching, and I can't get my toner to transfer. Am I doing anything wrong?
I'm using an HP color laser printer, but using a pure black and white setting, so only the black toner will print. Will a color laser using only black toner work?
Unfortunately, I usually have to wait about 45 mins to an hour between the time I print and the time I can transfer, because the printer is in my office a couple miles away.
Does the image need to be fresh?
I've tried regular paper, the inkjet-glossy stuff, and recently, the etching paper from Pulsar (pulsar.gz)
Any preferences from anyone?
I've tried sanding the oxidation off my board, using paint thinner, scotchbright pads, and each time polishing it off with acetone.
Preferences?
I picked up a heat laminator with spring-loaded rollers, and my board slides through perfectly. It heats to 300-350 degrees F.
Is this temp acceptable?
I've also tried the clothes iron, no luck.
I'm about to pull my hair out, does ANYONE have any suggestions, please?
Thanks!!!
