Re: Standard inkjet inks for etch resist? -more

I suspect he doesn't have easy access to a laser printer or 
photocopier.  getting a little toner and dusting with it will be a 
lot cheaper than buying a printer and definitely easier than making a 
bunch of trips to kinkos or where-ever.  I wonder what kind of 
quality he will see with this (uneven distribution of toner and such).

still, I agree that this seems like more work and definitely messier.
