Re: R1800 unexplained shift from neutral to magenta

2009-02-19 by Roger

It's physically impossible to make this mistake with R1800 OEM carts
as they have little plastic nubs on the front that are cartridge
specific.  I have to shave these off to use a refilled glop cartridge
in PK, for example.  Same problem using R2400 PK and Y in a R1800.

thousands on CIS's in the last several years, they are not without
their aggravation but you can think them for at least 3 datacolor
sells over that time period...
