Start by taking a look in the links under "Plotter Method". The ink
used is of number one importance. I also included a link to a site
about the HPGL plotter language.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/links/Plotter_method_001007656445/Although I guess now there are two methods by plotter, by using an
etch resist ink in the pen and plotting etch resist right onto the
board, and Scratch and Etch where an etch resist is sprayed on and
scratched off by a stylus in place of the pen.
