Print etch-resist, where are you

Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Print etch-resist, where are you

2004-03-24 by pebo festus

still full of ideas, i got my ink carts in last week
and printed on a pcb with the regular ink, it dried
real hard, couldnt smuge it with my finger, but etch
washed it off.i think we are trying to make something
hard out of printing on a pcb, came up with the though
of just mixing the FUTURE with the ink in the cart.
will have to take all the ink out and try different
amounts of FUTURE in the ink. i mixed 2 parts FUTURE
with 1 part glycol and it hardened. havent etched it
though. the original ink in the carts have glycol in
it, so may work.
I am going to CA for 10 days, so will not get to do
much work on the pcb printing for a while.

And all of us lurkers who are avidly following your experiments wish to

hard work!
