Printing resist directly onto PCBs

2003-09-06 by Steve

Sorry, still haven't found time to test Future in that Epson 800.

However: I mentioned before the possibility of using those wax ribbon
CD printers for this. Casio now makes a model that costs only $90.
Maybe all it would take is a hack of the driver (Linux, anyone?) and a
slight modification of the tray to allow printing without a hole in
the center.

Failing that, cut your PCBs out in the shape of a CD. ;') Then you
could automate it with a stack fed into one of the autofeeder CD
thermal printers. Of course, that becomes so expensive there are other
better options.
