Good luck then, I left them a less than polite message after 
fruitless communications on 10K carts they delivered to me 
17 months ago. They were aware of the problems before I got 
my carts but didn't inform me. In my opinion the carts are 
made in injection molds that have about the shape of the 
original carts but the manufacturer didn't compensate in the 
size the shrink plastics undergo after molding. 3 mm less on 
the vertical height so the chip is misaligned as well. 
Mediastreet advises "wiggling" but you don't wiggle 3 mm 
away. Couldn't get them right so I removed the chips and put 
them on Epson 10K carts. It would have been a lot cheaper if 
they had send me the chips. The Epson carts are far better 
constructed than the ones Mediastreet ships.



Met vriendelijke groeten,  Ernst
