Homebrew PCBs

Dear Volkan,

When I read about your results in direct printing on PCB, I was really 
impressed. I am trying to set up an EPSON Stylus C70 printer for this 
purpose. The regular paper input however does not allow normal PCB 
material of 1.6 mm. How did you solve this problem?
In the C70 there is a way to get a flat path by entering the paper/PCB 
below the paper carriage. However, the printer does not accept this. 
When I move a page till the paper feed (PF) roller, the presence of 
the page is detected but not accepted for printing. It is just moved 
out of the printer without being printed. Can you give some hints on 
how to create a flat path and a reference position that is accepted by 
the printer.

With kind regards,

Gerard Janssen

PS. Sorry when this is more an interuption of the thread. This is my 
first post on this forum

printer settings.
