Well, I just got new carts from LD Products, and they work great. The printer now works perfectly! Now that I have good carts, I want to refill. They are HP-45 and HP-23 compatible carts. The inks needed are 4 color: CMY and pigment black. Can someone recommend a good brand/supplier of quality...

Well, the remanufactured cartridges were both defective. I got them from a place called databazaar.com The cartridge problem light started blinking when I put either one in (HP-45 and HP-23 equivs). I took them both out and replaced them with my old HP carts, and the printer worked again...

HI RWP, Thanks for the kind comments. I hope this will help someone else. I did try white lithium grease before I removed the rod and printhead, and results were a lot worse. In fact it would hardly move from home, even when just opening the cover to simulate a cart change, before flashing the...

Followup: After disconnecting the toothed belt again and removing the encoder strip I did some more sliding of the printhead back and forth on the guide rod. I found that if I tilted the printhead slightly and slid fast it would catch. I decided that most of the friction was coming from the...

(Correction -- the thread title says 1220c -- should be 1120c -- sorry!) I picked up an old used HP1120c to do printing on balsa. I already own a Canon S600 and an Epson 1280, and yes, I do know about the superiority of other brands than HP. Nevertheless, I'm forging ahead, and would appreciate...

Well no answers so far, but I've spent a day researching and the following seem capable of printing on thick media: Epson Stylus Photo 900 and 960 HP 1120c Canon Pro 9000 Epson 3800 I have found all of the above available only used, but most are local enough so I that I can look at them before...

I'm interested in the same thing, though I haven't bought a printer yet. Using an iron-on requires a hot iron physical application of a second step and expensive transfer media. The whole idea here is to have the printer apply the graphics and be done with it, for the cost of the ink alone...

I need an inkjet printer with a straight paper path feature, so that I can occasionally print on thick materials - 1/32" or about .7 mm thick balsa It needs to at least: print color @ least 600 dpi -- (color graphics, but not necessarily photo quality) print reasonably fast in color be well...

Now that Alotofthings is gone, is there any other source for Formulabs / Sensient inks? I used them for years in my Canon S600 and it's still going strong -- with pretty heavy usage. Color rendition was very good for a non OEM ink. I'd like to stick with it. Failing that I'd like to decide on...

If you don't have a computer in front of you with a conversion program installed and you want to know something like this without even a pencil and piece of paper , just multiply by 4 to go from mm to hundredths of an inch. So 1 mm= .04 and 3mm= .12 or about an eighth of an inch. Which is...
