Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Jetrack ink jet resist

2003-06-19 by Stefan Trethan

you misunderstood the "make it like a plotter"

i thought of converting a working inkjet to move a solid pcb.
for first experiments this would be best because you don't need to make any 
software
and have working harware to work with.
simply get a big pcb moving as a desk driven by the main transport rollers.
you may have to cut the frame of the printer, maybe also move the 
controller board.

i would much more like this than making my own printer from scrap, because 
if the ink flows right
and the head/media distance is right nothing can go wrong.
if you make your own pinter you have to get a lot of parameters working 
with standard ink
before you can start printing with resist.

stefan
