Yep.
Speed of getting a new rev. is about the only motivation
with those prices George put out from the per square inch shops.
After I get my prototype iterating done and the design/test process slows down,
I'm trying a Hong Kong fab shop that sent me some FR-1 to
experiment with EZ drilling and EZ bake conductive ink jumpers
before getting FR-4 boards made for production.
2 layers? Only with additive conductive ink and SMT jumpers.
3 layers and up? Maybe some conductive ink ground planes for opposite side.
striplines? nahhh.... I'll hire a fab shop.
