Depending on the material, the etching can damage the dielectric. This can be manufactured but is difficult and expensive. Copper plating and other processes that require agitation are almost impossible.

CK, That is the exact machine I had. I bought a Dek 265LT in 1997 or late 96. Was one of the first Dek 265LTs made. Never had to use epoxy blackened fiducials and it worked great with 1/2 etched or laser cut fiducials. Chris

If you don't want the headache of etching a board you can design online and order a board for a couple bucks. The place I used had free software......www.PCB123.com

If they are under filled fids, take heavy duty two part epoxy and mix it with carbon powder from your copier. Use a razor blade to carefully trowel it in. We now use laser etched fids. They are much better.

Can you etch where you want to solder to? But you would need harsh chemicals to do that. The whole point of chrome is to not chemically react.

Not specific to QFP, but I had a run of poorly etched boards. I could see the short using 75X magnification with back lighting, but only some of the time. Nasty little shorts on ~25% of the boards that cost us a boat-load of cash.
