I've just bought an Epson D88, and am returning it because it won't print
properly on transparency material (confirmed by Epson) as the ink is
pigment-based. I noticed that the ink (Durabrite Ultra) is claimed to be
waterproof, I think that someone else has mentioned this.

It looks like I'll be swapping the D88 for an R220. That uses dye-based ink
which should be OK for my PCB artwork.
