This would also work if one cartridge alone is not enough of a layer
thickness.
Also maybe, just maybe, it could still work with one or two nozzles gone.

I would also be curious to use the inkjet to print a component legend, so
i guess i would need one black cartridge if i don't want it yellow/magenta.

Or maybe just a little black added to the mix would do the trick without
harming the resist function.
