maybe we should try the ink which is alerady in the cartridge?
why won't it work? i think it is water resistant.

you already have the bj200 so it does not hurt to try.
but i bet it will not work ;-).

as said i see only a chance with the piezo jet,
and then there i see a huge load of problems coming...

I have wasted more time with inkjets than i ever used for toner transfer.
if i get rid of the recent problems again i really need nothing else.
- which does not mean i wouldn't like the inkjet thing, the resolution
could
be pretty high....
