Homebrew PCBs

For a while Parallax was selling a stand alone ink jet
print head.  I always wondered if anybody tried it out
on a PCB.  I can't find the product on the Parallax
web site anymore, so presumably it is out of production.

I notice that HP has a specialty printer group:

  <http://www.hp.com/oeminkjet/>

I just wonder if anybody has called them up and asked
them for suggestions for printing on PCB's.

Just a thought.  I normally just lurk on the list.

You can also take a look at this site as well.

They built theirs for a microarrayer, but the cartridge is from an
Epson Stylus Photo 700

On a blog I maintained for a while I did a brief review of the project.
