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

You could look at some other similar printers. These are generally thesmall ones where the actual printing take place as the paper goes up theback of the printer. Be aware, however, that the HP printers will NOTwork. They do not print the traces properly, probably because thevoltages are not right. What you get is just the outlines of thetraces.

The shipping will be more than the cost of the printer.
