This is a copy of what I posted to the antique radio guys.

Forget this product! It isn't available now and comes in small sizes
when it is.

All you need to print on veneer with an ink jet printer is a harder wood
that has a smooth surface. Previously, I had printed on a softer wood
and it came out a little fuzzy.

Today I printed on cherry and olive ash. Started with the smallest
letter size in Wordpad and worked up to size 16. It looked like an eye
test chart.

They both printed perfectly. The smallest letters looked as sharp as the
largest. I'm out of colored ink so they are black prints.

Colors probably come out less bright, but editing to print grain lines
only should take care of that. Then you can stain and finish.

This uses up all my lighter veneer samples from Constantines.

So, if I need a Carpathian Elm burl or Rosewood for a radio I don't want
to spend that much money on, should I buy Maple, Birch, or Ash?
