[Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Epson inkjet results - quick trial

2006-04-14 by Robert Hedan

I just realized that the original poster had not done any copper fill.

Volkan, is it possible to get another test print using copper fill?  If you
don't have such a feature, can you just print a large square using Word,
PaintBrush or anything?

It would be nice to know if you get quality results using your setup before
we invest.

Thanks!

Robert

Quick trial:

Epson R220 
Epson Durabrite ink
Thin flexible Copperclad-not prepared
Dried / cured with hair dryer

Results:

Ran through printer fine
Thin lines printed well
Wide areas - beaded up
Printed areas did not move when rubbed
Water resistancy - poor

Failure!
Ink did not 'grab' onto surface

Next trial:

Prepare board, scour and pre-etch with Tarn-X and repeat.
