Hi I would like to increase the amount of ink applied by my Epson c88. I am using linux with gutenprint. I don't know know how to configure the parameters.

Any suggestions at all for techniques for epson printer control would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve

Please post questions (and answers! Especially answers!) to the Inkjet PCB Construction group.

Hi Ok, sorry I thought that group was specifically for experiments for modifying inkjet printers for direct printing to PCBs.

I will now join that group as well.

But it is not direct printing to PCBs that I was inquiring about, but rather printing to ink jet film (at grater density) for use in the photo-sensitive process.

I am currently trying to use R-Film from

http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/WP8.5X11

It is about $0.50 a sheet. It seems to hold ink very well. I haven't tried the jetstar premium film that seems to be recommended as I haven't found a source in the US for less than about $4.00 a sheet.

So would like to try sending more ink to it.

If it's compatible with the R280, I have some software that prints
direct (i.e. bypasses gutenprint) in order to 100% control drop size.

Ah! My mistake, then. I'm anxious to get some talk going there, so my enthusiasm got the best of me.
