I will never replace my beloved photo-process
never-never I tell you - not over my dead
body.
However I think the EDM could/maybe/possibly
be more attractive than the inkjet if the
inkjet stuff is going to have to have all
the "steps"
Washing
Drying
Printing
Curing
Etching
EDM would have one step. Like mechanical
isolation milling does. Turn it on, go and
have a rum, come back an hour later.
EDM is meant to be an unattended process.
Reliabilty isn't anything I am scared of
with the idea either.
I would trust a well designed system to
keep running a long time. And if it does
fail - it should know how to fail gracfully.
