direct inkjet PCBs

2007-01-24 by wnnelson0

I have succesfully converted a Epson C88 to print PCBs. I am using only 
the Epson inks and have had some good looking tests. Magenta Is the 
best and I have produced traces at .001". I'm not sure if the printer 
is acualyy printing that fine but the traces look good. I can still 
remove the ink with acetone after etching. This does not seem as good 
as MSI inks and I will be trying them also. Solid black is terrible and 
comes off in the Fecl. Cyan is next worse, Yellow is better, composite 
black is better still but Magenta is really the best. I am curing at 
235C for about 5 minutes on a hot plate. I will be posting some photos 
soon.
