I didn't mean second hand. I have been looking at the Prototype 
plating machines. Like QuickPLATE. But they all seem to use the 
process of squeezing conductive ink into the hole manually. The INK 
in itself is expensive.

BTW: In your process the board is completely coated then plated 
correct? So the board must have a thinner layer of copper to work 
with in the first place or the thickness would be uneven correct?

Lates.
