So when do you think I can use this stuff in my 2100? :)

"an object to be blackened is immersed for five hours in a solution of 
nickel sulphate and sodium hypophosphite. This produces a nickel and 
phosphorus coating containing between five and seven per cent 
phosphorus. Then the surface is etched with nitric acid to produce the 
super-black surface structure."

Doesn't sound very printer-compatible...
