Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Epson R220 Printer - compatible with the MIS Inks?

From: Mycroft2152 <mycroft2152@...>

According to tne MIS website, they recommend their
pigments inks to replace the dye inks.

We've been talking about the MIS inks, but has there
been a definite answer about the Durabrite inks? My
impression in talking with Volkan is that he uses the
MIS inks as a routine replacement ink. Thats what he
had in his printer when he tried it. Correct me If I
am wrong .

I've done some quick tests with the Durabrite ink on a
C84 and there does seem to be some promise there. I
ran into uneven printing, similar to Stefan, but
durable to etch after heating. it was interesting in
that after sitting for a couple of weeks without
heating, the colors were durable to alcohol, but the
black was not

The test were quick in that i used my daughters
printer when I visited her at college. I didn't really
have the time to do it right. She's home now for the
summer and so is her printer ;)

This week the R220 is on sale at Circuit City for $99
with a $20 Circuit City card.

TANSTAAFL!
