I just did a quick test with my UV LEDs using a step pattern going from 10/10 spacing down to 1/1 spacing in thousands of an inch. This test pattern was printed by an Epson 2400 printer using Pictorico transparency. The leds were 1 1/4 inches above the board with a .5 inch spacing. I tested with 4 LED's running 2 in series and then 2 of those in parallel running 20ma at 6.6V. Exposure time was 60 seconds. After developing in sodium carbonate, I got good lines down to 3/3 spacing. The 2/2 looked pretty good as well, but was a bit jagged. Possibly due to the 1440 dpi resolution of the printer. The 1/1 lines were all merged together. I will try 3/4 inch and 1 inch spacing over the weekend to see how those work, before I commit to a spacing. I will post the results of those tests as well.
