Homebrew PCBs

Len,

Actually, I was looking for a more detailed explanation of the ink
drying process for different inks. For instance, what makes MIS PRO
inks different from other inks. Was poling for specific links that
might have already been collected concerning this.

As far as controlling the printer control is concerned, I guess I
should have been more specific in what I was asking. I have no desire
to dig into the programming or construction of an ink jet printing
system. Kinda tired right now..

I will start a more thorough google search....get back to you on what
I find.
