The PIClist hides many budding 'Rube Goldbergs'. http://www.rube-goldberg.com/ Maybe there is a GOOD reason why we print to film and then expose? BTW used laser printers (LJIIs & LJIII) can be had for $25 at most computer recycling places. They print gread blacks and are probably quicker from print to etch time than any inkjet direct to PCB kludge. And if you are in a larger center you can get photoplots from PDF files at most larger print shops. $10.00 or so for a 8"x10" plot.
