Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Silk Screen for Less than $10 Instructable - Use \tfor PCB's?

From: Stefan Trethan <stefan_trethan@...>

If you are crazy enough to cut out the traces one by one with a knife
then yes, it would work.

Steve (the list owner) has already tried a vinyl cutter/plotter for
PCB work, and reports that it works for the larger stuff but weeding
is a pain.

So even with a vinyl cutter this would seem unnecessarily tedious
compared to just plain toner transfer or photoprocess.


This gives me another idea though - would toner transfer work for
t-shirt transfers?
I imagine the toner would soon wash out, but with a color laser
printer it should be possible to make even color transfers very
efficiently without any special transfer paper?
