the pcb oscillate about 10 cm 
10 nozzles per side makes 20 off it 
volume off etch is about 25 liters 
i use the fe3 the brown fluid.
the soldermask works the same way - only after developing extra uv 
cure and after that an oven cure for 60 min at 159 C if you can get 
the same film (dynachem laminar DM)
