Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] $25 Direct Laser Printing

It is not the same as the p2502, but it probably would work, though the conversion might differ in detail.

Mark, the Pantum P2502W is on Amazon for $36.99 as of April 1, 2016.  Where did you get yours for $25?  Still a great deal!

 

Have you tried the sample artwork I provided?  How is the experimenting?

Hi All,

Many of you have commented on my series on Instructables detailing my
efforts to use a laser printer to directly print toner on copperclad
boards. Once printed the toner is "fixed" to the PCB with acetone
vapor and then etched as usual. My latest effort:

<http://www.instructables.com/id/Modification-of-the-Pantum-2502W-for-Direct-Laser-/>

uses a laser printer that is available new, with toner, for $25 USD!!
Add a handful of inexpensive parts and you can print DS PCBs for under $40 USD.
