My colleagues have used a Tek Phasor to print onto a transparency to light expose resist. The wax used in the printer seems to make a better master for doing this as it is much denser than toner in a laser printer on transparency. I have heard of people using these to make silk screens as well. You must remember to use transparencies designed for the Phasor though, otherwise you end up with an expensive mess inside the printer :))))) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
