No, is NOT.
Using a CNC to EDM mill is better, because you can use the same CNC,
with the PCB in
position, to drill it too.

Think about precision drilling in complex boards.
Using the inkjet printing you have to drill it manually unless you
find a solution to position
the resulted PCB under the CNC drill, which is, almost, impossible.
