[sudo-discuss] need ink for sudoroom circuitboard printer

[Jake]

if we get the right colors, the printer will continue to print beautiful color prints in addition to the occasional circuitboards.

Also, I've been told by an expert that the 8500/8550 ink will not work properly in our 8560 so I doubt we could make our own ink without a lot of trial and traffic errors first.
