Homebrew PCBs

I am relatively new to this group and apologise if this possibility has been
mentioned previously.  Some 10 years ago, a group of local amateur radio
operators, all working in a Government communications laboratory, were
having considerable success in printing PCB patterns directly onto the
copper, using the ink used to print logos, slogans etc on to T-shirts.  They
put the ink into the pens of the old flat-bed plotters.  The laboratory has
long since closed and the group dispersed, so I cannot now follow that idea
up.  Has anybody in this group tried T-shirt ink in an inkjet printer?
