The printer is not as big an issue as you think. I have done boards with
FPGA on them in the past with a laser printer. All of my boards have been
made with laser. I made them for a customer. He complimented the work and
ordered more. Quit running down laser printers and look closer at your
process. It is getting tiresome to hear the same ranting and raving about
the printer type on this list. Others have mentioned that they have had
success with them. If you have been following the thread, someone has also
mentioned that the transparency type makes a difference. Telling everyone to
avoid laser printers is spreading misinformation and is not helpful to this
list.
