Re: Epson R220 Printer - compatible with the MIS Inks?

2006-05-16 by lcdpublishing

Thanks guys,

I think I am going to proceede this way with the process....

Start by first printing with the normal ink from Epson - nothing 
special etc.  Heat the board, and check for etch resistance.  This 
will be done with Black ink - I believe...

THe software I use does not allow me to set the color for printing 
the layouts - it's black.  If I can fiddle with the driver settings, 
then I will try to get it to print with colors to get "Black".

Depending on what I learn up to this point, I will procede wichever 
direction seems fitting.

I don't know if the ink cartridges are all the same size - if the 
black is the same size as Yellow, I could just swap them around, but 
I don't think they are.

So, until I get the thing here and start studying everything, I 
won't know for sure which way to go with regard to the ink 
cartridges and refilling etc.  I am guessing I will end up buying a 
kit or something from that ink supply company.

Getting very anxious to try this - perhaps this weekend if the 
printer gets here by then and I am not working on other things.

Chris
