Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Inkjet or Laser

Hi,

I'm the poster of that project, and there are a few caveats you 
should know. It seems that I can make fairly small boards (2x2 
inches) very well, but larger ones are more variable in result. I 
have been trying other printers, like the LJ 2200 that someone 
mentioned, but I cannot get reliable results. The 2200 will allow a 
very straight path with very simple modification, but I cannot get 
the printing to be consistent. I will continue to work on this 
project in my spare time and would very much welcome any input or 
comments, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

Mark
