  And what would be really good to try would be the parrafin.  But of 
course, Epson with the easy CD tray also has permanent seperate heads, 
which would be much more of a PITA to keep flowing..  And equally of 
course, the HP's with the all in one head and cart don't have an easy 
printer for doing a board that I'm aware of, haven't looked at their 
newest offerings in a while though.  Not helping I finally tossed all my 
old HP inkjets, they aren't worth much and were taking up too much room..
