Re: Epson R220 Printer - compatible with the MIS Inks?

2006-05-16 by lcdpublishing

Hi Chris (other Chris)

If I don't get any confirmation one way or the other by the end of 
the day, I am probably going to buy the printer anyway.  I can use 
it for it's original intended purpose.

Without modification, I am hoping I can print on some small PCBs and 
do some testing with the Epson Ink, followed by the MIS inks.

So, I will be doing some testing and experiments on this printer one 
way or another. 

By chance, does anyone know how to suck the standard ink out and 
replace it with the MIS inks?
