RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] $25 Direct Laser Printing

2016-04-02 by Jeff Heiss

Mark, the Pantum P2502W is on Amazon for $36.99 as of April 1, 2016.  Where
did you get yours for $25?  Still a great deal!

 

Have you tried the sample artwork I provided?  How is the experimenting? 

 

Jeff

Hi All,

Many of you have commented on my series on Instructables detailing my 
efforts to use a laser printer to directly print toner on copperclad 
boards. Once printed the toner is "fixed" to the PCB with acetone 
vapor and then etched as usual. My latest effort:

<http://www.instructables.com/id/Modification-of-the-Pantum-2502W-for-Direct
-Laser-/>

uses a laser printer that is available new, with toner, for $25 USD!! 
Add a handful of inexpensive parts and you can print DS PCBs for under $40
USD.

Mark
