PCB thermal transfer paper is a special type of paper that is used in the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs). It is a thin, durable paper that is coated with a special ink that can be transferred onto a PCB using heat and pressure.

The PCB thermal transfer paper is typically used in a process called "thermal transfer printing," which is a method of printing circuit patterns onto a PCB using a thermal transfer printer. The printer uses heat and pressure to transfer the ink from the paper onto the PCB, creating the desired circuit patterns. The paper is placed into the printer, and the PCB is positioned on top of the paper. The printer then applies heat and pressure to transfer the ink from the paper onto the PCB.

PCB thermal transfer paper is an essential tool in the production of PCBs, and it is commonly used in a variety of applications, including in the electronics industry, aerospace industry, and automotive industry. It is available in a variety of sizes, including A4 size, which is a standard paper size that is commonly used in printers and copiers. It is important to note that the performance of the paper may be affected by factors such as the temperature and pressure of the printer, the type of ink used, and the properties of the PCB material.

To create circuit boards using the ‘Thermal Transfer Method’ is literally as simple as printing out your circuit on a piece of paper! After printing your circuit, cover any bonded copper then heat up to allow the copper to absorb the melted toner onto the copper-clad to manufacture your own PCB.

Do not overheat or underheat; the best temperature for PCB thermal transfer paper is between 140 Degrees Celsius to 170 Degrees Celsius. Provide enough time for the temperature to drop before peeling down the paper, slowly exposing it.
