Transparencies for negative resist?

Transparencies for negative resist?

2009-04-06 by Leon Heller

The Pulsonix software I use can only create negative plots for power planes, and I think that it's the same for most other packages. How do those of you using negative-working dry film resist create your transparencies?

I only print from the Gimp, and it has a function to invert the print.

I use Viewmate. Just import your desired layers then when you go to print just select visible layers, factor by one, and check raster & negative.
