DJD reckons they are about the same. I have to use the more expensive

JetStar Premium with my HP 5940, the ordinary stuff was OK with the Epson

printer I used to use. I don't know if Silkjet makes a premium version. You

can buy JetStar from Farnell/Newark in the USA.



The HP 5940 is a very cheap printer but works very well, I can get down to 5

mil tracks, although I normally use 10 mil or more.
