Interesting inks. Must be fine for printing solder mask or top overlay.
I see using it in a flatbed inkjet printer like Volkan use.

How would you go about trying these inks? Inject them into a consumer inkjet cartridge? These are designed for use with industrial/commerci al print heads like those from www.xaar.com, which plug into very expensive printers. Even if you could get them to work with a consumer printer, I would think it would be a stretch to find a printer capable of handling the thickness of a PCB.



Maybe use a commercial inkjet head and affix it to an inexpensive CNC router?



Hmmm...
