by any chance does anyone use this method, and would
be willing to small *even* number of sheets? The one
place I know of that sells it has a $50 minimum order
(Halted). Or maybe someone knows of a place with fewer restrictions.
Digi-Key has it for $14.95 for ten sheets,but they have a $25
minimum. However, if you order the GreenTRF at the same time, it
should push you pretty close to the $25.
For those folks who've had poor results with TT, did you seal the
toner with TRF before etching? And did you use a laminator or an
iron to transfer the toner image?
I'm slowly working my way up to trying this method myself, and am
really hoping for better results than I've read about here. But
don't expect them, unless I'm doing something different than others
who have tried it.
The attraction is, that while the circuit board houses just don't get
much cheaper than $4 - $5 per board for small boards, the TT can get
down to $.50 - $.75 each by my calculations. Of course, if 75% of
them must be discarded...
