Photo-etch PCB made with HP 5P

2004-05-28 by leon_heller

I've just uploaded a pic of my latest efforts using an HP LaserJet 5P 
to produce photo-etch artwork on tracing paper:

PCB material is Fotoboard (fibreglass/paper laminate) and the board 
was etched in hot FeCl3 with continuous agitation. It took about 5 
minutes. Tracks are conservative - 12 mils.

I'll be tryimng that lead-free solder I mentioned on this board when 
I assemble it. It's actually a simple PIC ISP programmer (PARPIC) 
driven from the PC printer port.
