They will read "PCB" and "Inkjet" and quickly write "we can not help with
that".
Maybe it would be better to ask more subtle questions, like if the ink is
pigmented,
and what the maximum pigment size is...
But maybe you are very lucky and the mail reaches the right guy...

Future was tested before i think, and found working.
i tested the bona stuff and it worked, which is about the same.
However as i have said before this test can NOT tell you if it will work,
it can only tell if it will not work. the inklayer you apply by hand
is thicker than what you can expect from the piezo.
I also notice you are not to be talked off using colorant, well, have it
your way if you must it is your time and money after all ;-) .
Good luck... floor polish would definitely be very nice if it works because
it is so cheap.
