Hi,
I have searched the forum that some people print PCB traces directly
with a flat bed plotter. Does it exist a flat bed laser printer that
can do the job?
Thanks!
I would be very surprised to learn of anything commercialy available.
What would hapen to the static charge on the light sensitive drum when
it comes in to contact with the copper? By that stage, it may have
already passed the toner on to the copper, so maybe that is not an
issue, I don't know.
It may be possible to modify an inkjet printer to do this. It used to
be possible to buy inkjets which would print diectly on to CDs, but I
am not sure where you would get waterproof inkjet ink from.
Modifying a typical laser printer with its convoluted paper path would
probably be impossible.
I get satisfactory results on an hp2200 laser printer with OHP
transparrencies. But I have two toner cartridges, one for frequent use
with documents and stuff and one brand new kept just for doing PCBs
