That's why it's the first paragraph in the Monthly.txt file that gets
sent when you join, and each month. I agree that it is not obvious.

Yes, I know what silkscreening is. The mavens will correct you, as
they have me many times, and tell you that since they don't use silk
anymore it is more correctly called screen printing.

Toner is quite inflexible, it doesn't crack off paper because it bonds
to it so it may develop cracks while screenprinting. I doubt it would
fill in the gaps very well. Sticking to whatever is backing the screen
would be an issue. So would temperature as screening is now done with
a plastic based screen.

But don't let me stop you! Lots of people expressed caveats about
scratch-'n-etch, direct inkjet printing, homebrew CNC, etc. and all
have come about.
