Re: [Digital BW] ok to use expired Eboni?

2012-01-19 by mrjimbo

Hey Paul,
Here's an optional suggestion.. Ernst.. I hope you read this also.. Their is another option.. I posted it maybe a good year ago and well nobody bit on it.. I think I freaked everyone out.. I honestly do this here and the stuff is still working..( It's used on a 7600 and a 10K)  So guys.. I'm serious .. this is not a joke and it sure seems to work really well.. 
Ok so adult toys.. as in vibrators.. I bought a rig.. that was composed of two vibrating kinda egg things.. The control mechanism would run either or both..and you could dial in how crazy you wanted either of them to run (vibrate)..  Originally  I used it with batteries but quickly converted it to a small plug in power source..  So here's what I can do.... I can tape or Velcro it to the ink feed lines on a large format printer that isn't used very much ...It sends it little vibrations across the entire set of lines so the inks in the lines stay suspended..  I can take the two eggs and rubber band them to two ink cart's and in  less then 20 minutes ( I've been doing this for a while so that's my honest recipe assessment ) their done.. As a note I have an ultrasonic rig complements of my sister in law ( It's a fancy ring cleaner).. My vote goes to this odd quasi adult process.  You guys can all laugh if you want to.. I understand.. but I will say I kinda laugh most of the times I use this set up too.. I even have a few customers that have found incredible amusement in my odd ball process.. 

I'm kinda curious to see if this gets ignored a second time.. oh well....:-)

  Thank you, Ernst,

  Well, I'm using MIS refillable cartridges, and so there's no bag inside. I guess your suggestion won't work for me! Nevertheless, thank you for the thought...

  Regards,

  Paul
