I'm using a HP 820cxi inkjet printer and regular inkjet transparencies. I buy PCB's with photoresist, and this works out ok for me. Generally I don't use track widths less than 0.2 mm. On the HP printer it seems that more ink is applied if I set the output quality to maximum and specify "Premium paper" instead of "Transparency" -Oyvind
