Im a bit short on time (fresh batch of pcbs in etch:-D) so il keep it short and sweet! Like most ive wasted a lot of time trying to make pcb artwork with inkjets and wasted money on transparencys, oiled paper etc etc and finally settled with the good but expensive jetstar film.
Today i picked up a pad pf hobby crafts own tracing paper (like normal stuff but thicker) and its brilliant! perfect 8 mil traces with no rounding or bleed out on my hp f4280 ( il test on a few other printers during the week. ive tried it with the black ink (pigment) and colour ink (dye) and both are just as good! I noticed while i was in there they do a special inkjet printable version aswell but that was out of stock.
And the grand sum for these brilliant sheets? 30 sheets for £3.50 :-D Ive just done a few qfn adaptors and theyre spot on just about to shrink the traces further and see how far i can push it!
Pics to come
