   Very same things that make it a good resist are going to make it great at 
clogging the heads though, and unlike the HP type the piezos usually have the 
heads seperate instead of in the cartridge so it'll wreck the printer.  That's 
part of why most of the workable resist systems have a curing ink instead of one 
that dries on it's own.  Still if something will cut it then maybe it can be 
thinned to the point of working ok.
