Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Epson inkjet results - high resolution images

What happens with ordinary inkjet ink anyways? It comes off when dipped in
ferric chloride solution?

That's too bad, I already had this printer taken apart. I've identified all
the important switches and figured I have to remove the teeth-rollers. I
suppose the rear feeder roller would be plenty to push a PCB through.
Increasing the gap is a breeze by adding just a small ring to the rear
springs. The print head passes clearly over a standard PCB thickness.

For double-sided PCBs, I would have tried printing 2 single-sided PCBs,
drilling pilot holes and glueing together.

So, exactly what printers are we limitted to with this ink?

Don't bother, that ink only works in an Epson.

Bubblejet printers like Canon, HP, Lexmark, etc. will not work with most
pigmented inks.
