I think it would need to be a pretty strong
etchant :D
If you placed a totaly uncoated copper board in
fresh persulphate or ferric etchant with the
board submersed under 10mm of etchant - the
etchant will be a long way to exhaustion before
the job is over.
I don't know - But I reckon that 0.1 mm would be
a biggish ask to spray onto a copper board from
an ink nozzel without it just running. So that
etchant would have to be 100x stronger than the
normal etchants people use.

Don't worry - I pride myself on my ignorance.
As they say ignorance is bliss :D
