Homebrew PCBs

Yes, it works fine when it works. The problem is that the carts are all NOS, I have 4 of them. They don't seem to age well, something happens to the photosensitive surface. As they're mounted in the lid they get shook up when clearing a jam and the prints get smudged.

I mostly do through-hole, and keep the traces above 0.5 mm. Still have enough pin-holing to be a bother. But the transfer is great.

      Steady on there! The LJIII is not crappy! It may not print so well but

at least you can sit on it if you are short a chair, or use it as a

stepping stool to reach a high shelf. It'll still turn over and print

when all the current models are long dead and gone.



With a new genuine HP cartridge I've actually had pretty decent

results, but it's worthless with the cheap cartridges.

The problem I had with it is the 300DPI resolution. That's not really

enough to do fine pitch SMD ICs.



It seems best to have a dedicated cartridge for TT, or even a whole

printer. You can use a cartridge for regular printing long after it

has stopped giving good TT results so don't waste the early life on

regular printing.
