Just curiosity...
About flatbed printers, or XY printers, i saw some years ago one of my
customers printing in PVC, it was some electrical components and he
used that printer to label them. He used some special Rottring black
pens to do it.
It´s not so hard to modify a XY printer and they are quite cheap (
used ), the problem is, finding the right ink to do this job ...
