Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] images for photoresist

That is simple to develop.i haven’t done it in a while but it was d76 developer , stop bath and fixer . you have to work in total dark until the fixer. If the size is 8 by 10 you could put it in a photo processing drum and let a motor do it for you. You would just need to drain the chemicals at the proper time.

A friend of mine used to do it with lithograph film . I don’t think it was as touchy and it could be handled under a yellow light if I recall.

You want a professional place, one that does drawings, engineering
prints, and the like. They're likely to have the ability to make the
image. Photolithographers, for instance. Riteaid or CVS barely know
how to develop Tri-x Pan.
