suffering succotash
that's cheep this printer cost me £99.99
so four times the price in real money {hihi}
if it has a cd tray i would go and buy one !!!
and you guessed it its not avalible in the uk

im sure if its basicaly the same chassis it will be as deep
i can find he R265 but not the R260

my modified small tray does a grand job
im poised to tray a bigger board size
im off to the shop for supplies
and ill post more pictures on edaboard

a few things i noticed
polish the print board really well as per the method on edaboard
is the main thing

i also found warming the board up a little in hot water
before prining makes a better finish it also dried it faster
so for silk screen printing it doesnt smudge on
heavy saturation or colour mode black seems unaffected by smudging i
wonderif black is an different ink ????
this printer has 6 cartridge's
so has a white also

i notice some people using other inks than original epson
just wondered why ???
ive had no issues at all
using the clara inks that came with the printer?


Thanks for any info
