Seems like the paper was too thick..so I used a paper from a junk mail (from Vodafone) and print the PCB into that and was able to transfer it to the board but as you can see from the pictures there are residue of paper (whitish in colour) that still stick to the board.. 2013-12-08 11:25 ..did I do anything wrong or the paper I'm using is not the right one ? http://ctrlv.in/267704 and http://ctrlv.in/267705 2013-12-08 12:15 xiangfu has joined #qi-hardware 2013-12-08 12:16 wej has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 2013-12-08 12:19 wej has joined #qi-hardware 2013-12-08 12:25 lekernel has joined #qi-hardware 2013-12-08 12:32 michael_lee has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat] 2013-12-08 12:42 rjeffries has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 2013-12-08 12:44 michael_lee has joined #qi-hardware 2013-12-08 12:56 dos1 has joined #qi-hardware 2013-12-08 13:21 nicksydney: i meant scaling in Plot.
