Does any experimenter have any good advice for purchasing a current make,
model laser printer that will accept the "Press & Peel," blue, printed
circuit board, transfer paper with full, dark, trace rendition, transfer
ability??? I want to create really good patterns using the "Press & Peel"
method. I do not want to use the method of using a presensitized,
photoresist, printed circuit board.
I contacted Frank at the "Press n' Peel" company and he could not
answer my question. Maybe someone in "homebrew" can. Thank you for any
advice you can lend to me at this time. Goodbye for now.

Buy an old used HP Laserjet III for $100 or less and dedicate it. They last
several lifetimes.

I picked a laserprinter according to how well it did toner transfer.
Went to all the local stores and got test sheets from each printer,
took them home and ironed on a 2"x2" piece from each. Also made sure
each had the darkness setting turned up.

There was a wide range, some would not stick and some did OK. The
best of the lot was a Brother laserprinter.

Try it yourself and see which ones work.
