Homebrew PCBs

Hi,

 

I figured there must be major differences between industrial wire marking
inkjet printers and your average DeskJet, but I was surprised at the
resolution the Parallax kit could achieve.  Furthermore, there are a variety
of quick-drying, permanent inks available for use in inkjet printer
cartridges.  In any case, it was just an idea.  inkjet printing wouldn't be
my first choice regardless.

 

Thanks for the link to the WHMA, though!  I was unaware such an organization
existed.

 

Simone,

 

Can you explain the rubber roll process a little more?  Is it a type of
flexography?  It sounds to me like it uses rubber or silicone dies to stamp
the labels directly to the wire.  I was beginning to lean in this direction
after thinking about it.  My plan was to lay out the design in ACAD, then
have a rubber stamp manufacturer create the die.  Additionally, I've found a
few permanent stamping inks that supposedly mark non-porous materials like
glass, metals and plastics really well.  \

 

Thanks!
