Homebrew PCBs

Years ago I did once try printing pad ink in an epson stylus color,
and it printed ok.. 
(you can tell how long ago as the printer was new at the time!)

I guess the nozzles on those were larger so it may not directly relate
to the newer printers.

The ink I was using was a permanent ink specifically formulated for
printing with rubber printing pads onto paper, I only tried it on
paper but the results were reasonable.

The pad ink is a slow drying ink so there may be some mileage in it

That particular project ended up on the shelf and was totally
unrelated to pcbs..  but it might be worth experimenting, at least to
see how the ink coats pcbs and resists water.

it is a pity the printers with the heads built into the cartridges are
not suitable..  it takes a brave person to put ink into a printer that
can be completely destroyed by a bad choice  :-(

Still watching on the sidelines !
