Take your injet printout to your nearet copy shop, and have i copied with a toner based mcahine (laser printer or copy machine) It is the plastic in the toner that makes the etch resist, Todate only marginal effectiveness has been achived with serioulsy monkey'ed with injet printers and speacilty ink, which in turn makes the process more expensive and difficult than just running to the copy shop.
To note however, I dont use toner transfer. Any images posetd by me, (as in the photo of the traces between an so-70 nanostar package, was done with photoresist imaged in a vacuume uv box. with a transparency printed at 1200 dpi, with selective calculated undercutting during etch that gave me sub 5 mil traces.

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Inkjet Question
Hello. I've been watching this group for a couple months over some interesting topics. This is my first post. I'm fairly new to making my own PCBs. What I want to know is: it possible to transfer traces from my computer to a PCB via an Inkjet printer. I am aware of how to do the laser toner with clay-based paper. I would like to know if there is a way to use an inkjet? If so, how do I do this, or does anyone have links/articles/resources to help my studies?
Regards,
John Baker
