I actually almost expected that to work as well. The ink is reasonably  
tough once cured. Even if it doesn't resist soldering all that well it can  
still serve to protect the traces from oxidation.

But i've come up with a problem, if i want to print a component legend it  
would run into the soldermask.
Maybe it will work once the soldermask is cured, so that the ink will no  
longer mix and run about.
