Well, without Volkan i doubt we would have gotten there in the next few  
years. I mean if someone remembers the "future floor polish" things we  
tried a long time back it was a complete failure. The chances that someone  
tries to cure a working ink at exactly the right temperature are minimal.  
Even if someone had just tried it - with the poor results i got at first i  
doubt i would have even tried a second time without knowing that Volkan  
made it work somehow. I'm still at a loss as to how on earth he managed to  
work that one out, but i'm damn glad that he did and also that he came  
here and told us how!
Anyway, it's great, even with the curing step this is much better than  
toner transfer. And to get paid for learning how to do it - well, that's  
even better. I doubt i would have worked so much on this without that  
incentive...

But what we need now is research into inks. I have this older epson that  
wouldn't work because the resolution is too low. That looks forward to be  
killed with various crazy ink experiments. Even if the nozzles are larger,  
it should still be possible to see if some ink will totally clog the head  
or something...
Knowing what it is that makes this ink work would be great, also what  
makes some colors work better? Maybe the MSDS could help some little way  
in that direction.

Yes, i was thinking there must be problems with the "stupid elements" to  
have such wiki-like systems...
