Best printer for photo etching boards

Community PCB Design

I use Eagle to generate positive transparencies for pcb prototyping. Currently I have an HP 1012 Laserjet printer which has worked well but is almost at the end of it’s life.

I am looking for a replacement that has at least 1200 dpi resolution and good solid black coverage for pcb pours. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ron

I get excellent results from an HP Deskjet 5940 used with Mega Electronics JetStar Premium film. The Premium film is essential.
