I received this answer from the Chemistry Cluster group on Yahoo about solutions other than ink to use for resist in out inkjet. Don't know if it will help anyone. From "numirbis" I am experimenting with inkjet in the lab and print different kinds of solutions. Here is my way to keep the cost down: - use an HP printer were the printhead is in the printing cartridge. I have a cheap 30$ printer that works fine. - find a cartridge refiller and buy the empty ink cartridges in bulk (I only use the black ones to keep things simple) That way one empty cartridge costs me 3 Euros. - Crack the top of the cartridge off, discard the sponge inside and remove the filter over the nozzles. Now the cartridge can be cleaned with destilled water or alcohol. - Refill to about 1/3 height with new solution to be printed, put the lid back on and secure with electric tape or something similar. These cartridges can be reused many times. Just be sure to rinse them really well after each use, or the nozzles clog. About your resin: Have you tried to dilute simple clear laquer with isopropanol? There would be no heating necessary. Isopropanol is a better solvent than ethanol for inkjet, because of the higher viscosity.
