Donf - ? For you - Paper type properties - Laser Printer
Don:
I can configure my laser printer for the following paper types: Plain Light Heavy Card Stock Bond Color Preprinted Letterhead Pre-punched Recycled Labeled Envelope Rough Transparency Which paper type would cause the printer to deposit the greatest amount of toner at the lowest temperature. i.e. I don't want it to stick well. -or- Can you rank the paper type with increasing fuser temperature? |

KISS,
Good afternoon sir. Draft or light, put the least amount of toner on the page. The rougher or thicker paper is the more toner is used. The first pass through the fuser is heated to the highest temp. The second pass through on the duplex option, the fuser is not heated as high, to prevent the first side from melting and getting scraped off. Other than that, there is that much difference in the toner amounts drawn to the charged page. Don |

Wouldn't a thicker paper use a higher temperature and transparancy the least?
Wouldn't transparency sometimes have to disable some of the paper-path sensors I know that wasn't part of the question. The reason why I'm asking, is what might be the best paper setting to use when doing a "toner transfer method" for making printed circuit boards. The duplex thing makes sense. |

Kiss,
You have me on that one. I all the years I worked around the IBM and Lexmark, I never saw cb created off toner scrape use. Let me think about this, If you are using melted toner to to create the circuit paths prior to the solder bath how do you force the toner to adhere to the board? I can see if anyone still remembers me back in the Kentucky lab, but I have been gone almost three years now. |

Look at this link:
HeadWize Projects - Etching a Printed Circuit Board with the Toner Transfer Method by Christopher Garber And Gootee's link at the bottom of that page. I tried some stuff called TEC-200 film a long time ago and had no luck. I prefer polyester paper and photo exposed. So, I'm asking for future reference and I've been chatting with someone from the .au domain. |
