Instructions & Important Information

Although the very essence of this technique requires only an iron as the heat source to transfer the image, there are other factors that have a direct effect on the quality of the boards you can make. We have pioneered this technique since 1992 and have perfected what you need to do to make beautifully fabricated circuit boards.
