Hello, I posted some time back about conductive ink that could be printed directly from the printer. My needs aren't soldering, or even totally conductive in...
Ever wondered how the automotive industry chromes plastic as it's generally non-conductive? graphite spray I don't know if you can print it from an epson head...
I am printing what I believe to be a generic pigment based ink onto PCBs and curing it at 430 F and it does not seem to be working correctly. The ink does not...
Can you please tell me: the ink used cure time/temp number of passes etchant brand of copper clad I've tried nearly every technique and tip with the ink...
After much experimentation, I use MISPRO Magenta with +25 on magenta, heat to 450~ doesn't have to be exact from what I see, Just one pass is acceptable but...
Hello, For some time now I have made PCBs using the toner transfer method, but it is time consuming and the results are not consistent, so I would like to hack...
I'm also new to this, and interested in the same subject. I always used photo-transparency method wich is also time consuming. My first try in this direction...
I came across this Epson part supplier on the Yahoo Epson Printer forum, http://www.compassmicro.com/parts1.cfm Find your printer and go to the page of online...
I suggest you go to this page: Unless you are going to re-engineer your printer, you'll want to find a printer that will print onto a CD/DVD directly. ...
You're likely stuck with Epson. Find one that is supported. The printer's accuracy is going to be way beyond anything you need, whatever the version. I...
One of the nice things about Epson piezo heads is that there are a lot of inks that will work in them. Many of the commercial DTG printers are based on them,...
... I'm in the same boat - just getting started. I haven't done this yet, but I plan to visit Office Depot/Office Max/Best Buy (which ever is most convenient...
Unless you want to re-engineer the printer, you'll be stuck with what is smaller than a CD/DVD. As such, you'll want to find a printer that has a CD/DVD tray....
You don't transfer ink from an inkjet printer, you must print directly onto the PCB. So sample prints won't reallly help. Steve Greenfield AE7HD Electronic...
Maybe you missed his reply, he says he needs to make boards 5x6 inch and the PCB holder for the CD tray only holds a 2.5x3.5 inch board. Steve Greenfield...
Ahhh.... Then, he is going to have to transport the PCB through the printer instead of paper. You won't be able to modify the CD tray, it has holes for optical...
Sorry, didn't see your response. I just gave you as much info as I think you'll find. You're looking at disassembling the printer and somehow feeding PCB...
I am planning on modifying a printer, or "re-engineering" it as you said, which is why I started this discussion. I'm good with electronics and software, but...
Don't take this personally, but if you aren't very familiar with the process it is best if you don't try to answer every post. Dye ink will just wash away....
If you don't get an answer, there is some info in the group files. I didn't find it to be incredibly helpful. Someone else also used the Blu-ray laswers to...
Some big commercial printers use UV curable ink and they can print on metal. They have a UV light source next to the head and they cure the ink "on-the-fly". ...
Yes, i have tested it. In addition to UV Light, the ink needs about 80 degree heat. I have told to someone using such a industrial printer that have friendly...
Thanks for the info. Presumably for a PCB the whole board can be printed first and then as a secondary step UV cure the whole board in one shot followed by a...
