Overview

So apparently I am no good at the Laser Toner transfer method for PCB Etch resist. I seem to have issues getting things to line up on multiple applications (read: ironings). Using an Inkjet Printer to apply an etch resist layer to copper clad pcb is by no means a new idea. A bunch of people have gone before, making this project a relatively pain free one. About the only pain I experienced on this project was the Epson Artisan 50 that I bought new/unopened off ebay was a bit finicky starting up. I had to pop the ink cartridges out and re-seat them before it detected them and initialized them. See the Links section for my sources.
