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

Hi guys,

I am working on another idea - still pretty rough at the moment. If
things are the same as they were years back, all HP laser printers
using their PCL language. I used to have some documentation on that
but have since lost it many years ago. I am wondering if anyone has
a link to any such documentation?

What I am working on is a way to take the PCL output for a printed
PCB and use that information to control "something" to apply a
resist to the PCB material. In other words, print to a file using a
laser printer driver. Then I would use that information to control
the "Something" that would apply the resist of some sort.

It's a bit of a hair brained idea at the moment, but might be worth
looking into further.

Thanks
Chris
