Hello All, I'm new to the group, and still a beginner at homebrew PCBs, so I'll introduce myself by hammering you all with a tough one (for me, anyways). I recently bought a couple of LCDs with Horz-Bottom SMD connectors (I should have read the not-so-fine print). The pins are .2mm wide on .5mm centers. Does anyone have a technique to etch these fine traces? So far I have only tried photoetching using transparencies and my Brother HL1240 printer, which leaves a few pinholes that I can't fill in. Also, the ferric chloride seems to undercut some of the resist that does remain after exposure. Any pointers would be appreciated. I had planned on using the LCDs for debug readouts for a PCB mill that I am building. Thank you, Bill Byler
