I'm keeping my eye on the guys over at CNCzone as they are getting good results too. Have to see
if they plug up. I have read where the Epson C line is prone to plugging. I just read last night
that air is very bad for the head which I didn't know before. They say to change the cart when it
gets low and not to let it run out completely. Maybe a continuous feed system is the way to go. I
may have a go with the modified bushing approach and CFS after a cooling off period. And then
there's the idea from CNCzone to build a whole new system and just use the essentials form the
inkjet. Maybe a moving gantry and the board stays still, that would make heating the board very
easy if it didn't move. This doesn't sound very hard at all and will design it in the back of my
head for awhile.
