Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Inkjet printing PC boards

I thought they all had head cups. They have to have something to
seal the head, but of course if it isn't a cup you can't put
anything in it to keep the head from clogging.

I just remembered I have a couple of HP Deskjet 320 with very
straight paper path. It is a laptop sized inkjet, one of those
annoying ones with one space for a head, you have to swap to a CMY
cart to print color. The HPs have the head and ink in one, too. I
have an empty cart although it is pretty crusted up. Since you have
to swap the color and black carts, it comes with a holder.

It won't take anything very thick although it doesn't seem to have
a problem with thick card stock, but might accept some of the
really thin PCB stock I have.
