I also found that there are ID card carriers available for many of the Epson printers that take the CD tray. Ink Supply even mentions us on their page for the specific yellow ink: Since then, I started a separate YahooGroup for using inkjet printers to print directly onto PCBs. So different brands of pigmented ink may work better in one color than another brand. Some colors work better than others, depending on the formulation. Various inkjet inks were tried, then one member, Volkan Sahin found the key – pigmented ink and heat setting the ink. It would have been nice to have a link back to the YahooGroup where this was developed… A bunch of us on Homebrew_PCBs were trying different things in inkjet cartridges, from the famous Staedler 313 red ink to Future acrylic floor polish. Especially if you want to align it on both sides. This is way better than toner transfer but you need to play with it if you are pushing those limits. I can get 6/6 with very careful etching setup. We also have Xaar head type products in development that can eject a lot more fluids than the cheap Epsons and can supply for beta tests if there is interest (Xaar heads are $400 just for the head however).Īs for resolution, it is detailed on the step by step tutorial: we can get 12mil with 10mil spacing in our sleep. If you do want to hack it, we have rewritten Epson firmware to do a lot more control. Not everyone wants to take apart a printer just to print a PCB.

There are many improvements and hacks you could do but not all of them work and few are easy.Ĭonfiguring the print settings and using something free and popular like Windows Paint opens this project up to the mass population. The main problem was lack of a step by step instructions for a specific kit. We consulted with James at Massmind before putting out this kit.
