Anyone using a Brother to etch?(Monochrome printer)

Does electrolysis yield better results? i.e. better detail/less pitting?

Or does it just save you having to use/store hazardous chemicals?

Also ‘weeding’ the vinyl (Cricut, et al) can get pretty tedious for more detailed designs, even if the machine is able to cut it.

Just did a few more etches today. Paid a lot closer attention to the time (given the heat outside), pulled them out periodically and gave them a water dunk and light scrubbing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, then back into the etchant as needed.

Much more consistent results
