Well, quality of an inkjet photomask can vary a lot depending on the ink 
and how is reacts with the receptive coating. As russell pointed out 
Epson ink and epson transparencies work brilliantly. All of the HP 
inkjets with HP transparencies I've seen give poor results (lots of 
micro holes and even some banding !!). Epson transparency with HP ink is 
equally poor. HP transparencies with Epson printer give barely 
acceptable photomasks but only on print settings 1440dpi more/photo 
paper, where maxium amount of ink is printed. A friend just bought one 
of the new cannon inkjet printers which I think uses dye based black 
inks just like the Epson. I've only seen the results on glossy 
photopaper, but the artwork is extremely dense and solid. I'm going to 
try it with various brands of transparencies and see what I get. The 
Cannon is cheaper to run (bigger ink storage) than the Epson.
