Subject: Using a vinyl cutter for pcb's

I ran across a website that sells Roland Stika vinyl cutters
and "cutronics foil" for making pcb boards.
www.techsoftuk.co.uk
Check under software and "PCB design and make" for more info.
Futher googling found an upgrade kit to convert a dot matrix printer
to a vinyl cutter.
This may be more practical (cheaper) than the cnc route.
I'm going to check out the local sign shops to see if they would use
the cutronics foil. Or maybe look ing converting a plotter to cut
the foil.
Note: I have no vested interest with either Techsoft of Roland, but
it seems like a clever idea.
