Homebrew PCBs

Hi Bob,

Your point is understood. I need to get the printer modified first and then look 
for a suitable ink. 

Hoping somebody will come up with a answer to my questions.

Thanks
Kamal

Modifying the printer is only part of the problem. Have you tested the ink to 
see if it is waterproof? If you use water based ink, the etchant will dissolve 
the ink and you will remove all the copper, not just where desired. Most ink jet 
printers use water based ink, however solvent based ink is made. IMHO the 
solvent based ink would plug the nozzles on a water based printer, so it is not 
simple to switch. I have used India Ink applied by hand with some success, but 
sometimes it comes off as well.
