Homebrew PCBs

Hi Chris,

My initial tests were run on an Epson C66 with Durabrite ink on flexible pcb
stock. The yellow "seemed " the best also.

I just ordered some MIS yellow ink also with a refillable cartridge. The
cartridge is now being offered prefilled with MIS pigment ink for $10.95. It
is an inexpensive way to get started. For dedicated pcb use, only one
cartridge is really needed.

In talking with Voltan, the MIS ink just happened to be the refill ink that
he uses. There was never any search for the best ink. It is a good starting
point, though.

I'm hoping the "Island Inkjet" ink from the mall will work as well. It is a
lot easier to make a quick trip to pick it up. Five bucks for 30 ml was
cheap, that was the minimum they would sell. I'm sure larger amounts are
less expensive per unit volume. 30 ml is still 3 cartridge refills.

I'm wondering myself if the C66 Durabrite cartidges will work in the the
R220.
