Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Direct ink jet printing ...Pantum 2502W is $50 on EBAY

but only ships to the lower 48 states of the USA, it seems. Certainly Newegg won't ship this printer to Australia - I have tried.

Thanks Mark!
Great work!

In Italy the Pantum 2502W is difficult to find while the The Lexmark E260 is more common.

Is this article still "present"?


thanks

Here's a somewhat different approach, printing resist directly on copper using a laser printer < https://www.instructables.com/ id/Modification-of-the-Pantum- 2502W-for-Direct-Laser-/ >.

Hello all,
I was just joined to this interesting group, thanks to the moderator.

I have recently resumed the electronic hobby activity ... designed a new PCB with KiCad and I'm ready to make it.
In the past I 've always used the acetate - UV expose - development - etc ...
I would now like to try different systems ..

For example I've used the "press'n peel sheet" with a laser printer and iron but the accuracy is limited

What is your opinion about direct inkjet resist printing of pcb?
This guy has been using the Epson Stylus Color R800, whitout modification, using the native print capabilities of the CD / DVD:

It seems to be very interesting ... what is your opinons?

Has anyone in this group tried with success this way (with R800 or different printer)?

Are there others good "homebrew" system? (like plotter with pen o similar ...)?

Comments are welcome, thanks

Lorenzo, Italy
