    I have also tried to use ink as a solder resist. It is difficult to believe but it also acts as a solder resist. I have downloaded the result under 
 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs_Archives/files/Volkan%20Epson%20Inkjet%20PCB/
 I am satisfied with the results. 
 Steps of solder resist printing with Epson inkjet printer
 1-Clean the etched PCB with Ajax 
 2-Roughly estimate the position of the printed image on tray and put PCB to this location and loosely fix it by Scotch.
 3-Cover PCB with transparency and fix the transparency by Scotch.
 5-Set ink color level to -15 for CX4200 
 6-Print your solder resist image on transparency
 6-Now, using small PCB sticks align the pads of the PCB to the image on the transparency
 7-Remove transparency
 8-Reprint image on PCB
 9-Dry the image and repeat item 8 two times with ink color level set to +10 for CX4200
 10-Repeat the above process for the other layer.
 11-Cure both sides
 12-Remove copper oxide by Tarn-X or diluted HCL
 Note: For solder resist you need to use negative image. 
 Cheers
 Volkan

  Hi All,
  Finally I have completed my printer modifications and successfully printed double layer PCB.
