gEDA-user: diagnosing toner transfer problems

[John Griessen]

I've got 2 bun toasters, (made for 8 hamburger bun halves at a time), I salvaged 
with that in mind, but am not wont to endure the huge heat and power sucking 
they would cause...

Another salvaged heater that might help this kind of approach is a metal film 
heater elements behind pyrex glass thing used to reflow solder once upon a time.

Hear anything about such heaters putting out IR heat rather than contact heat, 
and how that works with toner fusing?  I'm thinking pressure would stress them 
as is... they're too big.   I'd have to make a cut down version sized to the 
board size you want to fuse onto to keep the pressure from cracking the glass.

No trouble with the solid metal bun warmer plates.  But they would need 
something like a silicone blanket to transfer pressure evenly...
