lol, indeed it is a very ugly green! I have tried using yellow only for  
the second refill, and one can still see it reasonably well. The  
interesting thing is the yellow turns slightly brownish when ready while  
curing on the stove, i'm not sure it does that mixed with black?

I think if we make the soldermask light colored, like yellow or green (mix  
yellow and blue not black) and the text a dark color it should work. I  
always used black toner for legend with no problems reading it, so if we  
can manage not to go much darker with the mask we will be fine. But i  
still think it'll not be possible to print both in one go.
