Well .. I had given that some thought as well ..
and there is a few printers mentioned in the archives if you want to search and see ..
But .. another thing you could do .. outside of the box ..
is go to a place like circuit city or staples .. and tell them you
would like to "try" their demo laserjet printers and have them print a pcb pattern on your own laserjet glossy paper. Then take them home
and try them .. though that is assuming you are at a point where the rest of the process is working for you .. but perhaps before investing in an expensive printer, you can find one that way ...
Just a thought ..
Check the links section of the website .. for the group ..
and also the guys put a page together .. with a lot of common info ..
it shouldn't be too far back in the posts .. was a peroxide mix subject line ..
