Digital BW, The Print

Clayton,
I would be nervous about potential printer contact damage if the chip is not
sitting properly and securely.
What I would do is sand down the encapsulant bump until it can sit properly
in the cartridge.  If you go too far and ruin the chip, MIS might give you a
new one.  It’s better than asking them to repair your printer.
For technique, I would put the sandpaper face up on a flat hard surface, and
use something like a magic rub eraser to help hold it parallel while sanding
it down.  If you have to buy sandpaper, 220 grit should be good.  Good luck.

Best regards,
John Moody

Hello greg,

I agree the "spring loaded" idea might be better, because it might
allow it to self-adjust to mate with the pins.  Once the epoxy
hardens, if the chip is crooked there's no way it can shift when the
cart in inserted.  I was real worried when I first tried it using the
MIS little gob of sticky goo because the chip could wiggle a bit, but
it worked fine.

Hmmm..."little gob of sticky goo"...that's sort of, ummm, poetic or
something.  I think I'll put it in the title <g>.

Regards,
Clayton
