Hey,
I have a product called Press-n-Pell PCB transfer film (PnP-Blue). For those not familiar with this method, you take the special "blue" coated paper and use a laser printer to print on a PCB design. You then cut out your design from the paper and put in printed side down onto a copper ("what do you call it?") You then use your cloths iron to iron on the design by pressing and heating for a few minutes. You then cool it under cold water and peel of the paper. The design you printed is now attached to the copper...all you have to do is etch. Sounds simple...but ITS NOT!!!
I made a circuit about 2 square inches for SMD components so it has thin tracks. I have done 20+ of these and can't get the whole pattern to stick on the copper. The corner and outside areas don't come out well, but the middle comes out perfectly. I have tried everything!
Does anyone have experience with this method and could you please give me some advice? Water cool or Air cool, press hard/light, etc.
thanks
