Is there a reason that this is being discussed in this mailing list?
It is hard to keep up with all the mailing lists I subscribe

the list.
Can we keep the signal to noise down as much as possible?

If you mean for photofilm exposure, don't. Toner doesn't block enough

Then, what is your inkjet printer? ;-)
I use an Epson R280 with either Silkjet or Jetstar films. You can try
regular inkjet transparencies, but the special films have drying
agents on them that prevent pretty much all smearing and running,
assuming you print on the coated side ;-)

I really hate it when people ask for stuff on freecycle. That's just
my opinion, of course.
I know, it seems like beggars shouldn't be choosers, but that is not
what Freecycle is about.
Hi,
Is there any way to tell PCB that which pins are power pins and which pins
are signal pins? Then tell PCB to select only those rats which connect power
pins or which connect signal pins?
This way power lines could be auto routed with wide tracks and signal lines
could be auto routed with

It's not that, it's that on our list the wanteds are more common than
the offers, and they're asking for things like laptops, cars, and cell
phones. I don't mind someone asking for empty jars though. I feel
like asking for a mansion with a ferrari just to make my point
obvious.

Note that in order to get real black I had to modify the gimp's ink
metrics (change the claria density from 0.8 to 4.0 in the gutenprint

I know about the green trick, but I haven't used it for three reasons:
1. My undithered black blocks enough UV already.
2. The alignment between the two colors isn't as good as I'd hoped.
3. I can replace the black ink for less money

My problem with the color toners is I can't convince my printer (HP
2550N) to *not* dither. The toner density is magic and out of my
control.
