hi:
not sure why i'm crossposting. nothing but a bunch of porn ads and bs in
AEMC
there was discussion some weeks ago about toner transfer and iron temps.
i put my temp probe to an old GE iron today. the probe that goes with
the DMM, not the p probe, ok?
linen (all the way up): 170-196 C. 196 on first test. 170 at coolest -
thermostat off. stabilized at around 175 C. putting the probe between
the iron and an ironing board drops this temp. you know why.
wool (lowest part of range, i.e., colored band): 157 - 159 C
warm: 160 C ... damn! that's clear at the other end. wool is at about 2
o'clock and the whole range is PI radians from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock.
"off": 116 C !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i better get my travel iron from storage
ice in the freezer: -13 C ... that should pass health dept inspection.
ice water: 6 C ... that'll fail OSHA in the summer.
boiling water for tea: 96-98 C let steep 5-10 minutes or boil the
bags/loose leaf. drink fast. climb walls. run around the block.
so i think the temp probe is pretty accurate.
most dry-film photopolymers (soldermask/photoresist) work best if the
laminator temp is 110 C (+/- 5 C)
anyone still have the instructions from their wet/blue toner transfer
film? what's the recommended temp?
anyone care to reiterate what the fusing temp of toner is?
the iron used for this test works best on linen for me. i'm sure the
temp will be higher when the iron is on the copper-clad since the
surrounding air is probably skewing my measurements.
