Homebrew PCBs

Hi Robert,
It does look like he did a large block on the second example - check 
the photos section again.  It appears to have come out just fine.

I just did a very crude test with durabrite inks.  I printed on 
plain paper and got some water on it to see if it would run like I 
have seen with other inks.  It didn't run or bleed nearly as bad - 
although it did bleed a bit.

If I didn't NEED my CX6600 for so much important business work, I 
would run some samples right now with it.  But I simply cannot risk 
losing this printer - it's only a week or so old!

Chris
