Hi I would like to increase the amount of ink applied by my Epson c88. I am using linux with gutenprint. I don't know know how to configure the parameters. Any suggestions at all for techniques for epson printer control would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Steve

Hi Ok, sorry I thought that group was specifically for experiments for modifying inkjet printers for direct printing to PCBs. I will now join that group as well. But it is not direct printing to PCBs that I was inquiring about, but rather printing to ink jet film (at grater density) for use in the photo-sensitive process. I am currently trying to use R-Film from http://www.silkscreeningsupplies.com/product/WP8.5X11 It is about $0.50 a sheet. It seems to hold ink very well. I haven't tried the jetstar premium film that seems to be recommended as I haven't found a source in the US for less than about $4.00 a sheet. So would like to try sending more ink to it.

If it's compatible with the R280, I have some software that prints direct (i.e. bypasses gutenprint) in order to 100% control drop size. http://www.delorie.com/pcb/pbm2escp2.zip

Ah! My mistake, then. I'm anxious to get some talk going there, so my enthusiasm got the best of me. Steve Greenfield AE7HD --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, "gulick_steve" wrote:
