Very good points.
What about that UV cured ink that is in the latest wide format
printers? My understanding is the ink does not dry until hit with a UV
light source as it comes out from under the print-head, and after UV
hardened it is waterproof.
Again, it becomes a question of whether or not it'll work in an Epson
printer. But, there are tons of Epson 400's and 600's around here in
thrift stores. Have to convert them to straight through and take out
the pizza wheels.
