Opps yes just in the post though I have been curing the pcbs tried 
the oven at 200deg for 1 hr and right on the flat cooktop at semi low 
until the pcb started to discolor.

Ok I thought that the pit patterns kinda looked like what I was 
seeing in the ink so assumed it had something to do with it.

I havent had much time to play the last few days I do think that 
using irfanview for my conversions seems to make the fill better
but I havent had a chance to test it.

thinking out loud what about a ink that doesnt cure until exposed to 
uv I am sure they make them just finding the right one.

I was even thinking about some kinda lacqure and flushing the heads 
after each use if I could figure out a solvent that wouldnt damage 
them.

Anyone know how much plastic touches the ink after the spike and 
what kinda chemical resistance it has?

with the laptop for right now.
