I tried an inkjet once, but no luck.  The issue is the difference in
technology.  The laser printer toner will actually remelt onto the
PCB, but the ink would do no such thing.

I've had much better luck with photosensitive methods than
with toner transfer, and better luck with the negative resist
method than the positive resist.

I'd like to know, however, if anyone has ever tried toner transfer
using one of those nice Tektronix melted wax color printers.  It
seems to me that it may produce a better transfer and a more
thorough coating over the board.  Anyone?  I may just try it...
