Hi Rupesh,

Assuming that you're using the transparency mask for photolithography,
the function of the mask is to block UV rays so, provided your printer
resolution is high enough, it shouldn't matter if you use a laser
printer or an ink jet.  However, you may need to contact a professional
printing agency in order to obtain the very high resolutions required to
adequately block UV rays.

Best Wishes

Subject: [mems-talk] Printer for transparency mask

Can i print my mask design on a transparency using Inkjet printer. I
have gone through many literature about making of transparency mask,
but all of them mention the use of Laser  printer. These literatures
do not tell the correct reason for not using Inkjet printer having the
same resolution as the laser printer.
