Hi, all,
I'm just finishing-up a "build it" article for a magazine, and want to know the best way to include circuit board artwork. The article will link to a site that will make all Gerber files available, but for those who make their own boards in the kitchen, I wanted to make sure that I include the right 1:1 artwork as part of the article itself. Questions: 1) is 1:1 (actual size) the right scale for those who use laser printers and iron-on resist; 2) is the proper image a black board with white pads and traces, or other way around?
Thanks much!
