Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I purchased and disassembled a used 1160 and it was
quite loaded with waste ink.  If I recall, I removed
the two top screws on either side of the paper feed
and the lid comes right off.  To get to the waste pads
you have to take screws off the bottom - esentially
turning the printer into three parts.

The waste pads are a strange item and unless you have
a source for an epson replacement it would be
difficult to replicate the material they use.  As the
top of the waste pads (5 total?) was saturated with
ink, I just shuffled the pads until the most saturated
was the second to the bottom and the least was on the
top and reassembled the thing.

An option would be to feed the waste lines outside of
the printer into an waste ink collection jug.  Then
you could reset the master counter of the printer and
be on your way, dumping the waste ink whenever it
became full.
