Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Narrowest tracks?

Leon,
If you use commercially pre-sensitized board material ( I recommended
Ocean State at http://www.oselectronics.com/ose_p78.htm good price )
developed in Lye solution.
Using HP Laserjet 1100 at 600 DPI with economy toner saving featured
turned OFF, and using Apollo CG7060 Transparencies I can do 5 mil any
time.
Using same printer with 3M G3300 it will do 10 mil all the time.
I seem to remember the LJIIIP did 300 dpi. I think you can still expect
10 mil.
