I didn't mean second hand. I have been looking at the Prototype
plating machines. Like QuickPLATE. But they all seem to use the
process of squeezing conductive ink into the hole manually. The INK
in itself is expensive.

BTW: In your process the board is completely coated then plated
correct? So the board must have a thinner layer of copper to work
with in the first place or the thickness would be uneven correct?

Lates.
