   Another great reason why use ink-jet, old PCB
 fighter Roman have not mentioned, is the ability to
 produce _VERY_ big PCBs very cheaply.
   Imagine big indicator panel about 0.4m x 1m.
 Even from Olimex this PCB could cost  hundreds $.
 With A2 ink-jet printer it could cost 10 times less.
 The cost of the "system-on-pcb" gets reasonable.
