Just a thought here .... has anyone tried to use OHP Film for an Inkjet run through a Laser Printer ?
This CompuColor OHP Film has a Special Coating that turns slimmy and disolves easily when washed in water,
I'm wondering how this would stand up to Laser Printing and the TT method with an Iron or a Laminator.... comments ?

This UV Laser thing has me thinking (dangerous I know) so slap me for bringing this up !! but during a few search's I come across some info that uses a UV Laser Diode in a DVD-R Burner & goes on about Photoresist being part of the Layer that records the Data, if its similar stuff or not i dont know. Maybe the UV Laser is to small and possible the focal point could be changed to get a wider beam for Exposure, sounds easy enough but I bet it aint !!
I quickly checked on some prices for a UV Argon Laser ...scarey !! these sound like they would be capable of turning the PCB into lattice work... ok so the T-Holes and Via's are done with no drilling... great stuff !!!!
