Wow Derward, that is impressive.
I, like Stefan, am amazed. I can do 8/8 well with TT (I prefer 10/10).
I think I could do 6mil if I needed to (especially for short traces)
but not sure I could push past that. the 8's get a little thin at
places as it is. I always figure I'd need to move to some form of
laminating to move past 8. But I see you use an iron too.
Perhaps cleansering the board helps (the Bar Keepers Friend), I always
stop at Dawn dish soap and a green dish scrubby. I agree with the
printer, my best results have come on the HP's.
I'm anxious to see your test board too.
It would be nice to fit between pads on an soic or fit more traces
under the 0805's.
