Homebrew PCBs

Well, I've bought an Epson C84 and a CX3810 so I'll be able to report on
those 2 eventually.

But after reading that paragraph, we are mostly interested in MISPRO-2-MK
(universal black) ink.  So if MIS says we can use that in other printers,
we've been running after Epson for nothing (just more printers for my
collection).

I won't be able to buy MIS ink before the 1st week of May.

I have found a software to modify the ink counter, see a list of  
compatible printers here:
<http://www.ssclg.com/epsons.shtml>
I would prefer that over a resetter.

When looking around i found some pages saying that the EU forbade the  
printer manufacturers to use chips here, i'm not sure if this is true or  
not, but it would be something good for once.

Anyway, i have been looking around, and i'm wondering if i need a  
durabright or ultrachrome ink printer, or if any epson would work. The
mispro page says:

MISPRO ink is ideal for use on any of the Epson printers that use either  
the Dura-Bright™ or the UltraChrome Epson inks. This includes the C80,  
C82, C64, C84, C66, C86, 2100, 2200, 4000, 7600, 9600 and 10600. The  
inksets come in 8 colors, 3 blacks (matte, photo, light) and 5 colors  
(CMYLcLm) or 4 color inksets (CMYMK).


Use MIS PRO Ink for Non Ultrachrome Printers -
We are recommending that the MIS PRO ink be used instead of the MIS GP  
inks for the non-Ultrachrome printers. The MIS PRO is superior on glossy  
and semi gloss papers. The GP ink had some bronzing and flat areas and the  
MIS PRO does not. GP was the best we had at the time. Both inks require a  
profile for use on non-Ultrachrome printers. We are working on profiles  
for the 1160, 1280, 3000, 7000, 7500, 9000, 9500, R200 and R300 printers.


Now what does that mean? i can use any printer made by epson? or not? i  
don't care about color profiles, i'm not going to use color.

The thing is the greater the range of possible printers the better,  
because then it will be easier to find one at ebay that doesn't have a  
clogged up head or some such problem.

Thanks!
