600dpi, it's there, but much less of an issue. You can see a little
of it on the 48pin tqfp on my website photo of the raw copper with
the newly tranfered image.
My LJ 5L is a 600dpi --I'd like to get a newer 1200dpi, but this one
works good so even the $79 (after rebate) printers you see at a lot
of stores now is hard to justify. If I didn't already have one
though, it'd be a no brainer.
I have done some work with HP III, IIp with OK results --but no
tight traces --also the toner on that one was a little more brittle --
3rd party refillable. I don't think 300dpi is up to doing .5mm pitch
tqfps though.
better prices than a few of the electronics vendors that carry thier
products. If you ship outside of the US though, shipping costs kill
the deal.
drivers; although with that many pins, as you say, you might not have
to. I'd probably pulse the outputs anyway to reduce how much power
you were sinking into the CPLD's. These little devices are pretty
cool. Much more reliable than the AMD variant pal-gal 22v10's we
used in school. Although, they don't breadboard too easy. ;')
Anyway, sounds fun. :')

600dpi, it's there, but much less of an issue. You can see a little
