Subject: Piezo Print Heads and Oil Based Inks

I have a question regarding the Piezo Heads in Epson printers.
According to one of the links provided in the previous Inkjet
threads, the Epson inks are solvent-based. Now I have read that
solvent inks are non-water based inks. My question is if that can be
construed as oil based inks? If so, I think I have found some cheap
refillable inks that I will put into my Epson Ink cartridge and print
out on some aluminium as Stefan has suggested.

I feel that once we get the ink situated, a flatbed printer
conversion would help make the pcb printing process complete becuase
it would allow for component legends and double sided printing to
occur flawlessly.
