May I copy one of the pictures from the "C88 Test PCB" section to 
the instruction page at
http://techref.massmind.org/techref/pcb/etch/directinkjetresist.htm ?

And if you could take some pictures of your actual conversion and 
the feed, I would also love to post those and any description of the 
process that you could offer. Especially anything that you did 
differently from the C84.

I'm really trying to spread the word on this method and provide 
a "one stop" location where people can find old, clogged or 
cosmetically damaged printers, find the inks, find the instructions 
and pictures and most importantly, find this forum. Yahoo groups 
just do not index well (try finding this forum on Google "homebrew 
PCBs" does NOT bring you here) and in fact, searching for "direct 
inject printing of PCBs" pulls up my page and then people can find 
this forum from that. So I hope I can be the "evangelist" for what 
you have here.
