Homebrew PCBs

Well, My father actually got one when I showed him this (he has a 
home recording studio and doesn't like the CD's his epson inkjet 
based CD printer makes him use...).  Its a pretty silly little unit, 
but it does what it was intended for.  The device has a fixed 
carriage and the print head only makes one pass, the user is then 
expected to manually rotate the disc and let it make another pass for 
printing on the bottom of the CD.  The printing surface is 
approx .75" x 3"; so if you only make very tiny circuit boards and at 
fairly coarse resolutions (on the order of 200-300dpi from the looks 
of it); this may be the very thing you are looking for...  :')  It is 
cheap and does a good job doing simple labling on CD's though...
