Printing out PCB layer mirrored?


peter_karlsen_dk
 

Hi everyone.

Is it possible to print out a pcb layer mirrored?

I have made a double sided pcb, and I'm manufacturing it in my kitchen
table.
I print the pcb layout on transparent sheets and use them to expose
the photopcb.
Unfortunately one side of the pcb doesn't get exposed very well
because the printed side of the transparent sheet isn't towards the
pcb. UV light gets under the mask and the tracks and pads get fuzzy
when the pcb is developed.
If the printout could be inverted or mirrored the problem would be solved.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
I have checked the manual, but couldn't find anything on the subject.

Could this be a new feature in a future release of Kicad?

Finally a big applause for Jean-Pierre Charras for writing this
awesome piece of software. Well done.

Best regards
Peter
