suffering succotash
that's cheep  this printer cost me £99.99  
so four times the price in real money {hihi}
if it has a cd tray i would go and buy one !!!
and you guessed it  its not avalible in the uk 

im sure if its basicaly the same chassis it will be as deep 
i can find he R265  but not the R260

my modified small tray  does a grand job  
im poised to tray a bigger board size  
im off to the shop for supplies
and ill post more pictures on edaboard 

a few things i noticed  
polish the print board really well as per the method on edaboard 
is the main thing 

i also found warming the board up a little in hot water 
before prining makes a better finish it also dried it faster 
so for silk screen printing it doesnt smudge on 
heavy saturation or colour mode black seems unaffected by smudging i 
wonderif black is an different ink ????
this printer has 6 cartridge's 
so has a white also 

i notice some people using other inks  than original epson 
just wondered why ??? 
ive had no issues at all 
using the clara inks that came with the printer?
 

Thanks for any info
