I went to a presentation on automobile dash restoration and the presenter indicated that he used various printers inks to achieve a very realistic wood effect. He indicated that printers inks do not dry and one can place a coat on and if you don't like it remove it. After the first effect is achieved then the dash is lacquered and one can continue with additional inks to achieve the desired result always covering with lacquer following the "final" ink application.
I wonder if this technique is used to create more attractive wood?
