Hey, I know that silk screen can be great for fine SMD traces of
conductive ink on glass and that's done by one guy. But I am not
happy with silk screens applied by the regular PCB houses. I am sure
it's the cost but nobody is willing to pay more for info that is
almost not needed due to automatic placement. We are just talking
from different angles. I looked at the results of a squeezed turnip
and then I voiced my opinion. But, that stuff I see printed with silk
screen on glass is amazing. The next better stuff is laser trimming
and sputtering. Having lots of fun with them girls, huh?! Mike
