Subject: Re: Prepping PCB for printing with MISPRO pigmented ink

Yeah, I figured the sharpie ink wouldn't work in the ink-jet. But,
if the MIS inks perform the same (ie. stick well, dry well, resist
etching well, etc.), then the chances of many people have good
success with the process is much higher. I don't ever recall anyone
saying they couldn't get Sharpie ink to stick to their PCB for
etching. So, that was the point of message before, if the MIS inks
perform the same, this is going to be a pretty reliable and
repeatable process.
