Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Epson direct pcb printing results

2006-04-18 by pebo festus

havent tried it, buuut print a reverse on a cleaned
pcb with a hacked injet printer(to get the pcb
through), then let it dry, then paint on the wetted
solder paste derik suggested, melt the solder and it
will adhere to the copper but bead up on the carbon
that is in the ink. wash off the excess ink and
solder--then etch.
