Printed Circuit Boards & Transparency Film

I can not remember if I ever posted this information before or if I simply intended to post and never got "around to it". Anyway if this has been posted before I apologize for the repeat. If you are one of those people who do photo-etch boards (or any type of silk screen printing work) and you are trying to use InkJet printers with Transparency Films you may want to have a look at "FastPOSITIVE InkJet Film" ( http://screenprinters.net/product_group.php?gid=inkjetfilm ) I have used this film with Epson 660 and 1160 printers using "standard" Epson ink with the ink density set to a medium to high resolution (I think the highest resolution on the 1160 puts out TOO MUCH ink for the process). Results have been EXCEPTIONAL (imo), I also have a HP 6210xi "all in one" that has not produced quite as good results, but I have not spent a lot of time experimenting with this printer. If you can still find it (I have been told it is out of production) "BURLINGTON Tru Color" "TRANSPARENCY film for inkjet printers" has in the past provided acceptable results, but nowhere near the quality of the "FastPOSITIVE" film.
