Hi Bob,
Your point is understood. I need to get the printer modified first and then look
for a suitable ink.
Hoping somebody will come up with a answer to my questions.
Thanks
Kamal

Modifying the printer is only part of the problem. Have you tested the ink to
see if it is waterproof? If you use water based ink, the etchant will dissolve
the ink and you will remove all the copper, not just where desired. Most ink jet
printers use water based ink, however solvent based ink is made. IMHO the
solvent based ink would plug the nozzles on a water based printer, so it is not
simple to switch. I have used India Ink applied by hand with some success, but
sometimes it comes off as well.
