I'm minutes before finishing the flatbed conversion.
I've worked out a clever (i think!) way to allow a carrier with PCB to
pass the C84 while being fully aligned to always print in exactly the same
spot.
This should allow more tests, although the chip issue and the ink
refilling issue need sorting soon.
Anyway, this weekend i will finally be able to make test boards wider than
1cm.
Is anyone willing to work together on making a chip replacement with a
microcontroller? I won't pay $50 for a set of stupid auoto reset chips. If
i were a "normal" user and the chip was emptied that fast i would have
thrown the printer out the window a dozen times already. I mean it really
is 100% 80% 50% - and then the red LED starts already. And that's only
powering on in between and printing nothing.
