Sorry Guys, don't check back here often enough. I will get in touch with you each directly. After all this time I am also happy to report that the conversion worked perfectly.

This question is just out of curiosity. I was wondering if anyone has used Ultrachrome HD pigments in the dye based 1430 (or similar) printer. I use third party pigment inks in this printer and have never had any problems when used regularly. I use the printer for black and white printing only...

Getting to the mainboard is pretty straight forward if you follow the directions in the service manual. The only tools you need is a phillips screwdriver and something to pry a few plastic clips. Hooking up the mainboard, once you get to it, is trivial. You simply need to unplug a number of...

A couple of weeks ago I received my L1800 mainboard. I was careful to get the Chinese retailer to state explicitly that the board would work in the Australian 1430 and that it would make it chip free. I got great service and, when they heard why I wanted the board, they even attached an adapter...

Thanks Nozzle! I didn't find that in my googling! But now you mention it... searching my emails... I found this product many years ago from www.technicaone.net. I was informed that it would work only with ProColor chips - but those carts are cheap so I'm not sure why I didn't try it. Back then I...

Your experience with the L800 sounds ideal. Many of the problems you describe with the R265 and CIS are those I have with the 1430 and wish to overcome. I mainly print A3+ photos for framing. I don't do large print jobs or double sided prints and my ink is cheap. But the paper I use is far from...

Thanks Ink-stained Fingers, I did a search and that option certainly would be cheaper. But I'm pretty sure I would botch the job if I tried it myself. Thanks for the question Ionlab. My problem is actually that my workflow uses a LOT of ink (custom RIP/inks). Several times more than the...

I am thinking of following a recipe from Paul Roark for a cool toner for black and white printing. It uses Canon Lucia Cyan (PFI-106C) and Blue (PFI-106B) from an iPF6300 printer. These are 130 ml carts which are more than I need. I was wondering if all Lucia inks are the same, regardless of the...

Cheers. I can find the board on Alibaba, but when I message the sellers they try to sell me an Epson 1430 replacement mainboard instead. One said that the L1800 mainboard would work in the printer, but then said that they would chuck in carts with chips for free. Which defeats my purpose if they...

I have read about a number of people that have had success using an Epson L800 mainboard in a T50/T60 style printer, making it effectively chip-less, and then adding a third party CIS. I have an Australian Epson 1430 and was wondering if anyone has had success attempting the same trick with an...
