I get a minimal of 8 boards off that $1.50 piece of paper. Less than 20 cents a board isn't a high price to pay, considering that I don't have do it more than one time, before getting a good transfer. No soaking the board in water for 10 to 20 minutes, or more. There is no paper fibers to rub off with my thumbnail or toothbrush. My time isn't worthless, and 20 cent is dirt cheap for the amount of time it saves me. With a laminator and clean copper, it would tough not to get a usable board. It takes a lot of trial and error to get boards with an iron and regular paper. It's not just me, most every site I visited, while struggling to figure out a better way, had the same message. Maybe I abandoned too soon, who knows, maybe a couple of months, I could have found just the right paper, and mastered the heat, pressure, and time issues. Just not enough time or patience, and don't like to fail. Designing the board should be the greater challenge, not getting the board etched. One good thing about the pre-Pulsar boards, drilling the holes seemed like a much easier task...
