Sorry, you'll just have to look at the backs. Most of the older ones
do not. The 1520 does, as does the 3000, but both are rather expensive
wide printers.

The black only Epson 800 (not to be confused with the Stylus Color
800) has a removeable back that I thought could be modified to take a
board straight through.

What "water based additives" do you mean? Stefan already tried Future
Floor Polish (a plastic coating) in an HP and it terminally clogged.
