I thought about the same method with using syringes, my wife is a nurse. I have seen some demos of pbc supply houses where they use a plotter with a air pressure operated needle to place solder paste, screen print liquid and solder mask on boards. My thought is to use screen print ink or liquid conformal coating in the syringe and deposit it by setting the z axis on the cnc plotter to dispense the medium. You would not have to thin it out, just set up a separate stepper on the Z axis to press the plunger. Should give good control over the medium. Just though of something. What if you did the above, but deposited etching paste to start etching the areas you did not want. After laying down the paste, you could spray the board with acrylic/enamel paint as a mask, dry a few minutes with a hair dryer, wash the paste off then do your etching. I will try latter today if I can. Brian G.
