Homebrew PCBs

In reading through the group I have read in a few cases where it is 
best to get a Photo Printer to make use of the UV inks (and to print 
in yellow/cyan as opposed to black to get a truly opaque image).

I have been researching the Epson R1800 printer and wonder if any of 
you have had success with this printer for printing on transparencies 
to be used to expose PCB artwork and sensitized PCB's.

I currently have a Color LaserJet 5550dn and it has HORRIBLE black 
coverage and is not opaque at ALL!
