I am having issues with getting a good toner transfer on an enclosure.
I have created 2 boxes previously with great results. However I am having little success with the current enclosure...
- I spent a long time sanding the box down with 220 grit
- I cleaned the enclosure with acetone and water and soap
- I have tried 5 different kind of papers (photo paper and the backing of sticky labels)
- I have tried ironing for between 14-30 minutes
- I have tried various combinations of the above, sanding down after each unsuccessful attempt, sometime wiping with acetone, sometimes only soap and water, sometimes just a clean rag
- I am using the same batch of toner as the last enclosures
Results have been patchy. What toner does transfer can easily be scratched off with a fingernail. The last one I did for 30 minutes and the transfer was worse than one, using the same paper, for 22 minutes.
I was wondering has anyone had issues with too much preparation of the box, or keeping it under the iron for too long? Or maybe this box has something in the aluminium that is preventing good transfer?
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I have been at this one enclosure for 2 days now trying to get a good transfer.
