Re: Inkjet PCB ink

2009-07-19 by drmail377

How would you go about trying these inks? Inject them into a consumer inkjet cartridge? These are designed for use with industrial/commercial print heads like those from www.xaar.com, which plug into very expensive printers. Even if you could get them to work with a consumer printer, I would think it would be a stretch to find a printer capable of handling the thickness of a PCB.

Maybe use a commercial inkjet head and affix it to an inexpensive CNC router?

Hmmm...
