#132863 - It would be useless
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A negative produced by a laser printer would be too porous, i.e. not sufficiently opaque. Dimensional precision may also be a problem, particularly with mylar, as the printer heats it up considerably.

If you want to produce good negatives for exposing photoresistive PCB stock you need a high-density, high-resolution printer. The preferred color, IIRC, is yellow-green, since the material to be exposed is normally UV-sensitive.

Gerber plots on "real" film are still the most desirable negatives.
