PCB UV film mask printing with TurboPrint
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2015 4:29 pm
I have a specific application Im trying to use TurboPrint for.
I am trying to print PCB UV masks. (eg. http://www.devic.us/hacks/wp-content/up ... loseup.jpg)
These are the parameters:
1. Printing with an Epson XP-620
2. Printing on Ryonet RiteFilm (Transparency) - see http://www.screenprinting.com/rite-film ... nLhEMs2vHJ
3. Printing with Ryonet BlackMax ink in ALL (refillable) ink containers (so black is in C,Y,M,K,PK)
4. Source Images can be pure black and white (1 bit greyscale)
Given an greyscale image in gimp, The goal is to get for a black pixel to output max ink on all 4 (CMYK), and if possible even the 5th channel (PK) for maximum darkness on the transparency (since it is being used to mask out UV light on a light sensitive circuit board)
.
The myriad of options for colorspace, colormode, etc.. can be confusing.
I can live with no greyscale, just pure max opacity 4CH or 5ch black or fully transparent.
What would be the recommended settings for achieving this?
Thanks,
