Bertho, Jim and all,
I found the reason why this particular machine was not working as well as the others. I have had this machine apart many times, and I had just been putting the Transfer Roller and removable spring in a pile of that sort of stuff. Unfortunately I had two shorter springs in the same area that I had been experimenting with, and I accidentally switch a 24 mm spring in for the 27-28mm one. Replaced the spring with the correct one, works fine. Put the shorter one back in, doesn't work. Perfectly Repeatable: Problem Solved!!
BTW I just bought an E250, and it seems even better suited for DLP since the Manual Feed rollers are very similar to the one I had to add to the E260. Just got the Service Manual, but I have to get a Toner Cart and Drum. I'm going to see how it works without cutting the paper Platform.

Mark,
Your printer conversion work and the write-up is great!!
I worry though why the second printer is not performing as well as the first one.
It also sounds promising that 1.6mm boards can be run through without extensive modification.
Finally, have you tried my printer resolution test:

See the second part. It gives worst case combinations of slightly angled traces with different track-spaces.
