Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Best printer for getting opaque prints for UV photomasks?

Also experiment with colors. Some inks have UV blockers in them to
prevent fading. I found green works best with my Epson printer. Although
black looks a lot denser it seems to be more transparent to UV than the
green.
