PCB toner transfer - success!
5 Stars
PCB toner transfer - success!
Firstly, I'm not using this laminator for laminating. I'm using it for transferring PCB artwork from silicone paper onto copper (I laser print onto the backing sheets from sicker paper). I have never used the much cited "GBC HeatSeal H220" so i cannot compare to it, however, I must say I am very impressed with my first transfer results and for the price I couldn't be happier. I passed my artwork + pcb through about 6 times although binding had clearly occurred after the first pass i wanted to get the board good and warm to be sure no traces came off during etching. Fine text which contained lines 2 to 3px wide printed at 600dpi (that's 3 to 8-mill) came out crystal clear and un-smudged after etching (i use vinegar + H2O2 + NaCl method).Using this laminator was significantly faster and more successful than the iron method. The temperature, pressure, and even feed speed appear well suited for this non-standard task.Challenges I faced (and easily overcame) were:- The rollers did not like to accept my 1/16th inch PCB without a little assistance (firm but gentle push) but once the rollers took the board it was smooth sailing- I don't think i could feed a board less than 1.75 to 2 inches or so in length through with my fingers alone- I had to effectively wrap my artwork around the leading edge of the board by using kapton tape which made alignment of my double sided artwork challenging but successful. I imagine this is not something unique to _this_ model.
