Two comments, other than "Cool!" First, articles about toner transfer suggest using a new toner cartridge, and keeping that one separate - take it out between runs so it's *always* new, and when the other one runs out, buy a new PCB one and put the old PCB one into regular service, so you always

Just made a toner transfer to copper clad and it was a partial success. Next I need to check dimension accuracy with a different test pattern and panelization and commit to using one of the coarser line sizes like 8 mils or 10 mils and maybe later refine this further with photo paper from Stapl
