You know what would work best for putting the design on to copper clad PC board blank. A Pen Plotter. I know of this one person who has an industrial HP Plotter. He used it for his CAD-CAM drawings mainly. But, he could set it up to do copper clad PC boards as well. I haven't spoken to him in some t...

tried that one, but there is no tie to the telecommunications tools side.. Dracon was bought out years ago by the Harris Corp, so all of the tele. specialty tools became Harris Dracon..
