Re: Solid ink printer follow-up ...

2012-01-05 by alex4459jopiklal44

try with red ..
I had the same with a cannon. that claimed 2400 ..but they all have a smaller resolution in black when you read the specs. and they often have a lower resolution in the other direction.. that means, as I see it ,that it is the lowest resolution that count.. so I printet a B/W with my new cannon.. looked like yours.. but then with red it was better than my old HP 710. I can see it when it is etched.. the edges is much sharper. and red gives perfect stop from the UV.. yellow and blue did not stop as well.

my printer is the cannon IP4850 and I print on transparancy and use precoated boards , expose with uv in 3 minutes .I can do 5 mil traces and clearance, at least over 5x2cm without any fault.
