Claim 19:
20. A computer-implemented method for producing printer control data configured to operate a printer unit to produce a printed circuit board, the printing unit being responsive to the printer control data for printing at least one of or both of a conductive material or nonconductive material at a given time, the method comprising:
accepting multilayer circuit layout data for laminated layer circuit production, said multilayer circuit layout data defining:
first and second conductor layers respectively including first and second intersecting conductive traces wherein the second intersecting conductive trace intersects the first intersecting conductive trace at an intersection location as viewed from a direction perpendicular to said first and second conductive layers, the first and second intersecting conductive traces not being electrically connected at said intersection location;

converting said multilayer circuit layout data to produce said printer control data for controlling the printer unit to print the conductive material to produce:
a first printed intersecting conductive trace corresponding to said first intersecting conductive trace, and
a second printed intersecting conductive trace corresponding to said second intersecting conductive trace; and

generating data defining an insulator printing including a printed insulator, said printed insulator being configured based on said multilayer circuit board layout data defining said first and second intersecting conductive traces and defined to be printed interposed between said first and second printed intersecting conductive traces at the intersection location to insulate said first printed intersecting conductive trace from said second printed intersecting conductive trace.
