Hi all.
Right now, I am using some ideas I found on the internet, to
modify a Epson C84 printer. They have suggested pigmented inks ,
which work in the printeer(company says.) and after the printing. you
heat the ink to 466' for 3 mins to cure it. They say it is then
perfectly etch resistant.
I am doing very small board also. Nothing greater 2-3.
Hope that helps.
Rob.
