Hi all. Though this evidently is not a software defect, I'm wondering if someone on the list knows the cause of this problem or experienced similar effects.
I was testing another paper (touted by a local electronics magazine as 'ideal') for my quick-and-dirty toner-transfer PCBs, and found a strange defect, hard to describe. (see: http://jcoppens.com/misc/laser1.jpg and http://jcoppens.com/misc/laser2.jpg ) The right part of each pic is normal typewriter paper, the left one is on the new paper I'm testing. The faults are systematic: - The appear always on the same spot in the board, independent from where I print it on the sheet. - They never appear on the 'normal' paper. - Printer settings and source file is exactly the same, of course. (I did experiment with different settings, but no difference was noted on the printout). First feeling was that some particle on the paper surface 'exploded', and blew away the toner before it got fixated. But this shouldn't happen systematically on the same spot. Problems with the paper/toner transport? They should show on both printouts, shouldn't they? Ideas?
