Subject: Re: Standard inkjet inks for etch resist?(yeeeehaaa))

I've got some solder and rosin flux powders coming through the mail. It
looks like I might have to flat bed that printer pretty soon after all.
I might get time to chop it this weekend, but we are spring cleaning
the garage this weekend (and last weekend, and the one before...), so
it's a toss up on whether I get the time or not. If I do, I'll try
printing some circuits onto cardboard. I think the flux will be enough
to stick the solder to the board that way. I just hope the solder melts
@ < 451 F. I don't want a half baked toaster oven on my hands. That's
about 230 C, isn't it? I'm going to have to check the data sheets
first, maybe I will be doing it on roughened FR4. I'll keep you posted.
