Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] direct laser PCB

Hi,

I don't know this printer but I doubt anything as thick as PCB would go
through but even if it did the technique would not work!

A Laser printer builds up the image on the photoconductor (Drum) and
transfers it to the paper by an electrostatic charge on the transfer roller
placed on the opposite side of the paper.

A conductive layer would prevent this attraction. Also the photoconductor is
very delicate, something as hard as PCB would damage it.

Sorry to dash your hopes,

Brian

The Brother HL-2170W claims to have a straight through path for card stock,
etc...

Has anyone tried to use this to print directly on PCB blanks?
