Subject: FAIL of "edding permanent ink" for direct PCB print

From: Bora Dikmen <bora_dikmen@...>

Yes Volkan, I always adjust printer head height
to print onto PCB.

I extracted the printer head and put it into
acetone for 10 minutes. But it still reject to
print! It terrible clogged.

I plan to try D88 later. It has 180 nozzles for
black which was 90 for R220. And it is designed
for Durabrite inks. Perhaps clogs less.

Best,

Dr.
