Thermal wax printers OK for PCB photo resist transparencies?

1080 1 Nov 09.2019, 10:16:57

My ol HP 4000n black and white laser printer packed up recently, not that 
it gave very dense black images on transparencies for photoresist printing 
for PCB etching. I went to a fairy local large printer refurb
place yesterday and they ran my pdf ile through a few different laser
black and white printers and the results were less than stunning. The
senior technician there reckoned a thermal wax printer would be more
appropriate and has set one up for me to try today. he says the
results on my transparency film were much better than even a high end
laser achieved.
has anyone any experience of using a thermal wax printer for
transparencies for photo resist board?
