Maybe I've been lucky all these years, or the inkjet printers are better than they were.
When I first started, all the suggestions were to use a copying machine or a Laser Jet, and NOT to use an inkjet. I guess times have change. Maybe next time I'll try my new inkjet photo printer and see how it does.
Don't take me wrong, I'm cetainly not argueing, it just caught me by surprise, That is the only reason I kept this old laser jet around all these years. I never, never had problems going two traces between 0.100" pins.
I never could understand why everyone felt that was difficult. Again, guess I had been lucky.
I still will take the suggestions and advice I'm reading serious, no doubt some of youhave done this longer than me.

In terms of opacity, pin holes and dropouts, there is no HP laserjet,
even with the best transparency match, that can do a better job than
the right inkjet with similar match. You would have to use vellum or
tracing paper with the laserjet to even things out. One example of a
right inkjet combo would be any of Epson's dye based printers and
Epson's transparency.
