I used my little ol Cannon BJC85 with the transparencies and obtained good results .... I put the transparencies through the printer a couple of times to get a very dark layer of Black ink and with perfect results at times 80% of the time but those bigger PCB's at 150mm x 250mm that are double sided could become a pita ... and then I read here about using Yellow Inks ..oh well !!!

Yes Inkjets work very well for doing transparencies, you do have to
use the correct type transparency for your machine.
I use to use the Black ink with somewhat good results, but not long
ago learned from someone on one of the lists don't remember if it
was this one that Yellow ink blocks UV, he recommends use the photo
inks using Yellow and Green together think it was. Myself I use a
HP CP 1700 printer, print the Transparency using the Yellow ink
only, has always worked Great for me so far. AS I recall from his
test, was that Cannon printers where the best machines to use, using
Photo Ink.
