Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Squink - The conductive ink printer

What a marvelous machine!
this is not just a device that prints the traces, it also deposits the conductive glue and picks and places the components!
If you have ever done any prototyping you know what a pain surface mount assembly is, This little machine eliminates all the drudgery and combines conceptualization, prototyping and evaluation to become a one step process. 

At a cost of $3000.00 I don't know of many amateurs  that would buy it, but in industry $3k would just about pay the secretary to type up the proposal for a new product. 
The Squink is a concept that could revolutionize not just small business but electronic design as a whole. I sincerely hope that they get the funding for this project. If I had a few of hundred to spare I would certainly invest in this company. this is a ground floor opportunity.
