Hello, I'm looking for a supplier of dry-film photoresist or brass
already laminated with photoresist. I know there is a supplier in
Germany but I would prefer to find one here in the US. I found some
(E.g. Think & Tinker) but they only sell the resist in bulk and that is
to much since I'm just starting. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Regards, Michael

Micro Mark sells the film resist as refill material for their photo
etch kit.  It is laminated to the metal sheet by heat and pressure.
The full kit includes a laminating machine for this purpose.  BTW, I
have tried the MM kit and find it works fine. I have submitted an
article on using this photo-etch kit to Fine Scale.  No word yet on
whether they are going to use it.

I'm sure it is on the top of the list. They love to publish articles
about products sold by their advertisers!

Hi, I did look at the MM set. It looks like it has all the things
needed but also I don't loose the feeling it looks like a play thing.
For that kind of money you get a good amount of material. I guess a
store with the product in it would make it easier. I still can't
believe that this is the only product on the market. Thanks for the
advice.

But you do not need to buy the whole set.  You can buy just the resist
film as "supplies".  You will need some way to laminate it, though. It
takes simultaneous heat and pressure.

I've had excellent results with Puretch, a water-based photoresist film
that is non toxic and much thinner than any other similar product.
After testing it, I got rid of all the liquid and laminated products
used before, not to mention that I forgot the nightmares given by
Press-N-Peel and similar toner+iron based transfer methods.
Puretch needs just sprayed distilled water, an UV source for exposition
and develops with a solution of commonly available ash soda (sodium
carbonate).
