RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Reducing the diffusion of paper and plastic film laser-printed photo tools

Thanks Robin for the detailed information. I am also interested in how to obtain high quality photo tools and on and off have been testing over many years. A couple of decades ago I also were testing with in my case 200W mercury lights and I also removed the outer enclosure. Curiously I found that the UV decreased which did not make sense. After some more testing I realized that without the protective enclosure the tube ran too cold so the UV dropped. Now I have 200W industrial UV exposure unit so there are no exposure problems. I did an artwork testing design to see resolution and performance on difficult slightly angular lines. See: http://www.vinland.com/USAF-1951.html Bertho
