Re: Using Silk Screen Emulsion for PCB making

2009-06-23 by aurangzebhaque

Simao,

Thanks for the excellent link. I am going to try it this weekend.

One comment. I have been making many many silkscreens using translucent tracing paper, with the design pattern printed out on common laser printer. I have never had the problem of opacity in the printout, and edges etc. have always been satisfactorily sharp. We use the sunlight here because it is abundant and free ;-), and the rays are parallel. Maybe you should try it too. Hopefully it will save you money on film.

And thanks everybody for your inputs.

Aurangzeb
