Bertho, Jim and all,
I found the reason why this particular machine was not working as well asthe others. I have had this machine apart many times, and I had just beenputting the Transfer Roller and removable spring in a pile of that sortof stuff. Unfortunately I had two shorter springs in the same area that Ihad been experimenting with, and I accidentally switch a 24 mm spring infor the 27-28mm one. Replaced the spring with the correct one, worksfine. Put the shorter one back in, doesn't work. Perfectly Repeatable:Problem Solved!!
BTW I just bought an E250, and it seems even better suited for DLP sincethe Manual Feed rollers are very similar to the one I had to add to theE260. Just got the Service Manual, but I have to get a Toner Cart andDrum. I'm going to see how it works without cutting the paperPlatform.

Mark,
Your printer conversion work and the write-up is great!!
I worry though why the second printer is not performing as well as thefirst one.
It also sounds promising that 1.6mm boards can be run through withoutextensive modification.
Finally, have you tried my printer resolution test:

See the second part. It gives worst case combinations of slightlyangled traces with different track-spaces.
