What i would love to know is how come Volkan can make such fine traces and  
i cannot?

Do you use a single color/head, or do you mix colors using multiple heads?  
I think that may be a factor, because it is the only difference i can see.  
Also, i must try a short microetch to get a surface that takes ink more  
readily, that may also allow finer traces.

Anyway, it will probably be months until i can get back to inkjet  
printing, and i would appreciate any information at all found by other  
people working on it.
