Subject: Printing on a solder mask

From: "micro_minded" <iceblu3710@...>

Has anybody tried printing a solder mask onto their boards?

I currently used pcb-fab-in-a-box with the GBC laminator and I can get 6mil traces and perfect boards every single time.

I have been looking for a supplier in canada for dry film solder resist and found nobody, only this company in germany:

and this guy using it:

My question is could you print on a flatbed modified printer 4 or 5 layers of color to build up an effective solder mask?

Thanks!
