Well I have tried it, it works with cheap dye ink cartridges at 1/10
the cost of an epson cart, but washes off if you try to etch etc.

So, printer prints onto boards, now I need to put the right ink in it.
I am also going to buy a continuous ink system for it, but thats
costing about $100 / 50ukp so I would like ot have got a test out of
it with real ink first.......
