Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Inkjet Transparencies

2003-06-28 by Stefan Trethan

thanks...

looks good, but not perfect.
if you have time, may you place the film against bright light and check 
with a maginifier or so
if the dark areas are smooth black or if you can see a variation in 
density?

i can remember from my 300dpi hp that you could see the "dots" without any 
aid with your eye.

i guess the edges are a bit more straight in real life that on the scan?
(i mean if your scanner resoultion is lower than the printers)

but if we get the same quality (and smooth covering) with the resist ink it 
would be perfect.


regards
stefan
