I'm thinking about offering dry film coated circuit board materials if there is any interest. I was in the printed wiring business for many years and still have the proper lamination equipment and supplies. All of this equipment is industrial grade made by DuPont. Most of my boards are very small but using this equipment and materials, I'm able to produce as many as 500 boards in one day with nearly zero defects.

I did try this in the past and sent out quite a few free samples with the understanding that I would receive feedback on how well it worked. Unfortunately, there was little feedback except for more requests wanting free materials. lol   

My question is how should the materials be priced. Any ideas or suggestions on pricing would be well received. This would help me determine if it's worthwhile to proceed. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
