I just had an idea of a better PCB generation system. It is still in the works, but may be a great solution. There is the photo-resist method that needs darkness. There is the Toner Transfer System that I use a lot. But I find that I am always touching up traces, especially the fine ones. One person figured if they can print directly to the PCB using a laser jet, but the stiff board would not go through the rollers. What if I can come up with a flexible material that can be printed to directly a positive image and then etch? It would be able to go through laser printers without a problem. I am building up some samples to test, but would this list be interested in such a product? Oh, to stiffen up, just add a piece of fiberglass to the back. Which I can make as well. Would you be interested in this method? How much would one be willing to pay for the materials for a 2"x2" size of board - granted a larger one would be possible as well. In fact, using a legal size copier would allow one to print up a 11" x 17" circuit board. -- Derek Koonce DDK Interactive Consulting Services
