Homebrew PCBs

Herbert,
I would think that any inkjet printer could be made work. Woody has posted
on the Inkjet pcb construction group about hishis success using a Lexmark.

The EPSON was used because that is what both Richard and and I had on hand.

There is one benefit for the EPSON in that being a CD printer the head is
designed to be raised to clear the CD. IT is called the APG
(automatic platten gap).That means there is less hacking and cutting of
metal to get the clearance.

Even though small thin pcbs can be made in the CD tray, it is best to mod
the printer for straight though printing on larger 1/16" think pcbs..
