[sdiy] US Industrial Silk Screener Recommendations

[karl dalen]

A colleague of mine did that once with a older Lexmark Inkjet, it
had a simple feeding way which he modified so it went from front
(basically removing the plastic chassis and two feeders) to back
in straight level/line. Problem he had, original ink didn't 
stick to metal sheet he later bought special ink that stick 
to metal, he used it for making small etch masters in brass/alu, kind of!

The denser metal ink clogged the printer head so it was lots
of manual cleaning but it worked well.
