Re: PCB Artwork transfer
Wendy -for one offs something that can be hand applied to the board is easiest ( in my limited experience). On very successful bit of artwork I did a lot of years ago involved a keypad, where I used the artwork ( with carbon paper underneath ) to trace out the keypad. I then got Swimbo to cover the area in a transparent old nail varnish ( seem to remember it was a shade of light green) and I removed the bits I needed to remove. It etchd clean .
At this time, nail pens were coming out. Sadly, Swimbo could not find one. But she tells me that these pens are now back on the market (and cheap). From what I've seen they are slightly smaller than the old permanent markers, so should give finer lines etc, but being either acetone or gel based will certainly be more resistant to Ferric chloride and the dreaded edge creep.
