Re: Printing resist directly onto PCBs

Actually, I've tried it with a citizen printiva 700.  Didn't work 
very well.  The copper is a huge heatsink and I couldn't get the 
printhead hot enough to transfer the wax.  Maybe preheating the 
copper clad would have helped.  Anyway seemed to be a bust with that 
one anyway (for me).  I'm certainly not discouraging anyone else from 
trying.  :')
Heck, anyone near Pocatello, ID USA is welcome to take this one and 
try to make it work...  hehe...  (no, I won't mail it...)
