Thanks for making such tests under great peril to yourself ;-)
The cleaning will have some effect on the beading up you see on larger
areas i'd expect.
I'm curious as to how well this inkjet ink sticks to the copper, would it
be suitable for component legend?
In 3 days a auction for a broken tektronix phaser wax printer ends. I
dunno how it will develop but i might be able to afford it. But hearing
these inkjet things i'm not sure if i should try for it at all...
