Great job, I really believe the secret to etching is trial and error and finding what works for you with whats available to you. I think it really is a "what works for some people will not work for all people" kind of thing. Case and point, I could not get magazine paper to work for me so I moved on to the HP Presentation paper and had a system that works for me.

For example, my iron is set to Silk, what is 50% of the power, some people use full heating...
For me didnt work like that. I had a blush tone over the board due too much heat...

I thought that at first, too, but I think that's just the resist and not after etching.

Curious to know, how long do you have to iron it for on silk mode?

Wow, is that all. Maybe I'm overdoing it, I don't go any less than 4-5mins and that's using pnp (and my etches suck)

Quote from: Hangingmonkey on June 05, 2014, 08:59:14 PMAs Cody mentioned, you have to find what will work for you. i've tried adhesive backing paper, which work for some people but not for me.

There are so many variables like toner quality, paper, temperature, print quality, pressure, etc..
im not much experienced on that, but i think i found a methode that is working for me. I was following some explanations from other folks, and one thing i've seen a lot was to use the iron at the maximum temperature. I took it for granted, and never worked for me. By using at max temp, my tracks kind of melt down causing a blur on the transfer. i was reducing the temperature slowly, till i found out that on the Slik mode, i got the best transfer...
keep trying, change one variable per time and you will get it for sure!!!
