Subject: Re: Wish to BUY: Completed direct PCB inject system.

Hi folks,

Guess that I've missed the thread about of C84 direct
printing how-to.

Is that used in place of photoresist ?

I could imagine that after visiting:

www.Rep Rap.org

understood that there was a possible approach to trace
tracks (URL posted here days ago)

Think it is kinda 'conductive paint', isn't it ?


I don't know if RerRap.org will have a good
cost/benefit ratio for PCBs but think it should be
revolutionary when replicating 3D objects.

Furthermore if the gadget will have a price tag of
$400 next year !


By work experience I'm prone to use film r rather than
other ways so I can't imagine how the core C84 direct
printing system works

Hope any reference /link or short explanation about
how direct printing works.

Thanks in advance

Sam

With all respects to the people that are going in the
direction of such a system, I think that you are
aproaching the PCB making from the wrong side.

I do not know if all of you that post regarding
special inks for printers (like a PCB Santa Claus
machine) are really spending and efforting so much
time. If you make a balance between the different PCB
making techniques, I believe that the winner is
(consuming less time and effort, with the added-value
of the most quality finishing) the dry-film methods
(ala Thinktink).

It is much simpler to learn to imaging, developing,
etc. properly, that to trying to obtain a "really
repetable and reliable" procedure with the other
methods. If I should be waiting for an incredible ink
resist, or for the most simple method in the world
(without any effort of mine) surely I did not had
maked any PCBs in all these time.
