Re: Epson R220 PCB printing Report #1 - swapping Black with Yellow Cartridge ?

2006-07-24 by lcdpublishing

OKay, so it looks like the printer does not know which cartridge is 
in which slot - so that's good. I didn't think it could tell by the 
color of the ink, rather, that damn chip everyone is having troubles 
with.

Anyway, I guess this ink won't work anyway, so I will have to get a 
refillable cartridge.

I did take a few minutes earlier to look at the path through that 
printer.  It doesn't appear to be as clear as I had hoped :-(  
Obviously, the area where the CD passes through is clear. However, 
the area on the other end is blocked by something. I believe it is 
the paper feeder thing - very deep in the printer so didn't get to 
look really good at it.

GRRRR, don't these printer Mfgs. know that we have a "Special 
purpose" for these printers that requires a clear - straight and 
flat path for our PCBs!  ;-)
