Subject: Re: Gutenprint configuration for print density

From: "gulick_steve" <sgulick@...>

Hi Ok, sorry I thought that group was specifically for experiments for modifying inkjet printers for direct printing to PCBs.

I will now join that group as well.

But it is not direct printing to PCBs that I was inquiring about, but rather printing to ink jet film (at grater density) for use in the photo-sensitive process.

I am currently trying to use R-Film from

http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/WP8.5X11

It is about $0.50 a sheet. It seems to hold ink very well. I haven't tried the jetstar premium film that seems to be recommended as I haven't found a source in the US for less than about $4.00 a sheet.

So would like to try sending more ink to it.

Steve
