Bravo Stefan!!!!! If you need more ink, contact me off-list, I still have the stuff I bought with you when we all started on this. There isn't much light at the end of my tunnel so I suspect I won't be doing ink-jet PCBs anytime soon. I suspect with the curing being quantified, the performance of other brands of inks and colors will also broaden. When I did my crude tests with the durabright ink (yellow), it worked, but I was curing with a hot air gun. Also, seeing as I have been using magazine pages for toner transfer, I have found that the transferred ink (the text on the pages) also seems to serve as a resist. Could it be that the transfer with heat is also "Curing" the ink onto the PCB which makes it function as a resist also? If this is the case, then I suspect that a wide variety of inks just may work out for this process. Well, anyway, great job on your progress and that write up. If I ever get time to tinker with my R220 printer, I will try to do the same with it. Chris
