Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

Bravo Stefan!!!!!

If you need more ink, contact me off-list, I still have the stuff I
bought with you when we all started on this. There isn't much light
at the end of my tunnel so I suspect I won't be doing ink-jet PCBs
anytime soon.

I suspect with the curing being quantified, the performance of other
brands of inks and colors will also broaden. When I did my crude
tests with the durabright ink (yellow), it worked, but I was curing
with a hot air gun.

Also, seeing as I have been using magazine pages for toner transfer,
I have found that the transferred ink (the text on the pages) also
seems to serve as a resist. Could it be that the transfer with heat
is also "Curing" the ink onto the PCB which makes it function as a
resist also? If this is the case, then I suspect that a wide
variety of inks just may work out for this process.

Well, anyway, great job on your progress and that write up. If I
ever get time to tinker with my R220 printer, I will try to do the
same with it.
