Homebrew PCBs

I can't blame you for not wanting to spend hours experimenting. 
especially when it becomes clear that it might take 10s or 100s of 
hrs. 

If the droplet spacing is too wide, I think that could be compensatod 
for in the driver.  some drivers have control over how much ink is 
deposited. My hp5550 has the ability to darken prints which I believe 
deposits more black ink, for example.
