HP deskjet for toner transfer method

[brejna]

Hi everyone, I just got HP deskjet 1510. I've tried to make few pcbs, but when I iron the pcb transfer is not staying on pcb.
Is there anyone using this type of printer? Tips? I would be grateful

That printer won't work for toner transfer because it's an inkjet printer. You have to use a laser printer.

oh nooo! I finally got something to work with at home.. and it is failure
Thanks for info

I think you can use inkjet transparencies to expose your art on photoresist pcb's which i think is an infinitly easier and better result producing method of making a pcb, (if those materials are easy to acquire).

Unfortunatinely I don't have experinence with that, I am using toner transfer method since I've started with pedals..

nop you cant, i have tried, ink doesnt stay

Ink stays fine on inkjet transparency film, it has a film or texture, treated in some way so that it holds the ink. You're just using the ink to block light while the pcb is exposed to light.

i have tried but since injet its liquid ink, it never dry on the film, maybe we are using differents films

Use the hand-draw with sharpie method

Here's an example of Inkjet transparency film, 'Specially coated film for maximum printer ink adhesion'.

If you don't have access to a laser printer at home or work, you may find it easier to get access to a copier.  They also use toner, not ink.  Just print out your circuit image, and then make a copy onto your toner transfer paper.

Thanks guys for all of your ideas, I think I will continue to make pcbs with a laser printer 'cause that is just the way I am used to do.. and also I think that in near future I'll just buy laser printer and stop bothering my friends to print things for me
