Homebrew PCBs

Hi all.
Right now, I am using some ideas I  found on the internet, to 
modify a Epson C84 printer. They have suggested pigmented inks , 
which work in the printeer(company says.) and after the printing. you 
heat the ink to 466' for 3 mins to cure it. They say it is then 
perfectly etch resistant.

I am doing very small board also. Nothing greater 2-3.

Hope that helps.
Rob.
