thanks to every one for the good words and ideas. i am
having a little trouble getting my ink through the
head now. maybe it is to thick, it will print--then
have to clean the head, one instance i waited a bit
and it printed ok, i think i am going to have to use
thinner ink. i am hesitant to use the regular ink in
my mixture because it has glycerene in it and it
doesnt dry. i think it is a good idea to put some
ammonia on the rest pad, iam aware ammonia will clean
mop&glo.imho i think i need to add just a touch more
percentage of alcohol to the mixture. it looks a bit
hard to get the print heads off of this epson stylus
color II, i cleaned the heads on an 880 and the holes
were open but the printer didnt work. seems the epson
stylus color II is easier to work with because it has
manual paper feed and punch two buttons to clean the
heads. I havent printed on a pcb yet, just got the
epson II back cut out so could feed pcb through. then
i was trying paper just to see if the printer still
printed, then is when i started to have problems with
the ink. as i have stated before i put a dot of
mop&glo on a pcb and it appeared to be usable as a
resist. we will keep trying
mebo
