Homebrew PCBs

I Googled on 'flatbed inkjet printer' - essentially what you're asking for.

Here's one that might work

Just a bit of overkill for our purposes ;-)

It looks like there is something here worth exploring.  Starting in 2002 or 2003 there seems to be a bunch of companies constructing flatbed printers in an attempt to get some of the silk screen printing business.  Flatbed printers will print on thick, rigid substrates.  Some use solvent based inks.  Solvent based inks have the potential to function as etch resists.  Most of these printers are wide format to print on T-shirts and other clothing, and all I checked out look like expensive machines.  However, we may be able to find these machines in local shops that traditionally do silk screen printing.  Look for a custom silk screen shop in your area.  You may be able to supply artwork and have him print on your PCB.

  Hi Group,

  I am wondering if there is a such a device already out there that can 
  print directly onto a circuit board.
