Subject: direct inkjet PCBs

I have succesfully converted a Epson C88 to print PCBs. I am using only
the Epson inks and have had some good looking tests. Magenta Is the
best and I have produced traces at .001". I'm not sure if the printer
is acualyy printing that fine but the traces look good. I can still
remove the ink with acetone after etching. This does not seem as good
as MSI inks and I will be trying them also. Solid black is terrible and
comes off in the Fecl. Cyan is next worse, Yellow is better, composite
black is better still but Magenta is really the best. I am curing at
235C for about 5 minutes on a hot plate. I will be posting some photos
soon.
