Shame. :o) I'm interested to see how it turns
out.

I thought you would see the light. Chasing
after difficult customers is OK if you have
lots of time and very few customers. But in the
real world those 5% of people are mongrels no
matter how hard you try and please them. The
moment they get unreasonable just tell them to get
lost and spend that time finding or helping the
GOOD customers. Like that 80:20 rule, the bad
customers take 80% of your time and return 20% of
the income.

Ok, will do. The main issue for me is not the ink,
I see that as easy, but the feeding of the circuit
board. To be really useful for small SMP protoypes
it needs to be able to handle 1" x 1" boards, so
that points to a flatbed system like moving the
printer and the tiny board(s) sit on the flat bed.
