To get the best results, we strongly recommend removing the PCB, placing it back into the Stainless Steel CD holder, printing it again then reheating it on the hot plate to dry it again. The order is important. By drying the PCB between prints, you ensure that a second print will not splatter itself or run. The Stainless Steel CD holder makes it easy to align and reprint in the exact same spot. A second coat gives a more thorough ink resistant surface.

Once the second coat of ink has been printed/heated/cooled, you can see how strong the ink is. Running water over the board will not remove the specially formulated ink.

If you want to make a double sided board, now is the time to repeat steps 5-8. Remember in your calculations that the cutout holder is 3.55"x2.55" and the PCBs are 3.5"x2.5" in case you make some weird flipping and adjust your margins in step 5.
