Subject: Re: Epson inkjet results - quick trial

I had a little nose around and it seems that:

The C84 Photo prints on CDs AND uses Durabrite Ink in standard and
high capacity cartridges as well as there being a Continuous feed
available for it. (it is possible other C series printers do also, but
i gave up after a while as it is quite hard to find that information)

I don't have one, so i don't knw how wide the path is, but since they
are available second hand for just a few $ (or in my case £) I may get
one and have a looksee

If we can get this process repeatable on easy to get equipment, it
will revolutionise home pcb making.

As it happens, I design all my board to fit on 115mm board as it is
the cheapest way to buy it, so a limitation in width is not an issue
for me.
