I've just got a cheapy Cannon S330 (600 x 600 DPI black) that I 
will test soon for PCB photomasks. It has AUD$9 black ink carts.
It would be interesting to see tests from the better Cannon 
inkjets with "1200x2400 DPI black" print modes.

Assuming its possible to print dark and solid like the 
Epson/Epson transparency (no pin holes) then its up to how 
straight the line edges are. I'm not sure if inkjet manufactures 
are improving on this since I don't think accurate dot placment 
is important for photo reproduction.
