RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] images for photoresist

2016-04-12 by keith printy

That is simple to develop.i haven't done it in a while but it was d76
developer , stop bath and fixer . you have to work in total dark until the
fixer. If the size is 8 by 10 you could put it in a photo processing drum
and let a motor do it for you. You would just need to drain the chemicals at
the proper time.

A friend of mine used to do it with lithograph film . I don't think it was
as touchy and it could be handled under a yellow light if I recall.

You want a professional place, one that does drawings, engineering
prints, and the like. They're likely to have the ability to make the
image. Photolithographers, for instance. Riteaid or CVS barely know
how to develop Tri-x Pan.
