    negative printing support

     

    These lines should help.

     

    set palette black;

    display none top pads vias;

    export image c:\temp\a.tif monochrome 600;

     

    Change the 600 to match the resolution of your printer.

    Is there any particular reason why you need to invert the PCB image? And how are you producing the mask from the file?

     

    If you're using a printer driver, then you need to make sure that this isn't scaling the output (such as having a "fit to page" option selected).

     

    I regularly use the PDF export option, and import it into a program which does PDF reading, annotate it with my name, design name, logo and so forth, and then print it using a normal inkjet printer. But then I spent a lot of time making sure that the scaling wasn't a factor (however, I've never needed to invert the image)

    So you make the solder mask/silk screen yourself?

    Is it a photographic process (i.e. you need to provide it with a negative)? If so, how are you producing the photographic material? Is it printed out somehow?

     

    (I'm just trying to gauge why you're having problems with scaling, and where those problems can lie).

    Ali,

     

    There's no need for that, what do you plan to accomplish other than

    getting your message ignored? Jason is trying to help you out and I've

    replied to your e-mail request with a feasible solution.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge
