Very interesting !

seems you could use bright yellow on most ink jets to get a visable
image.

water slide paper just went on my shopping list.

    One other method (and one I mention in my new PCB book, I might add) is to
    "iron" on laser printer toner. This is just like you do to transfer toner
    for resist, but you don't remove it. Again, black markings, and it is hard
    to get the alignment just right, but the results are impressive.
