You can't!!!!!

I already went back to TT for that reason, you need to continue
experimenting! ;-)

Look we are using regular ink in regular printers, so it should
theoretically work without clogging all the time. At least i'm thinking
printers are not meant to clog, i may be wrong, i don't use inkjets for
regular printing. The only difference could be the heated boards, and i do
not think direct inkjet is impossible without this, and i'm not even sure
that caused the clog, most likely we both just got some air into the
nozzles.

Anyway, i hope you continue trying, and other people as well. I will get
back to it in a couple of months, i expect i will have to buy more ink to
do so. I was hoping in the meantime someone would find a cheap easily
available replacement for mispro but it will not be a problem either to
spend the $ on ink in a few months if need be. I also need to make the
curing oven, which means i need to make the controller for it first.
