Hi everyone,
I am working on a senior design project that involves modifying an Epson printer. I've noticed that when the printer I'm working with (Epson C120) prints a picture, it does it in stages. It prints a strip of black & white first, advances the paper, prints another color on top of the strip, advances the paper, and finishes up that particular strip's color. Thus, at any given time in the middle of printing a picture, the cartridge is actually printing 3 strips approximately 1/3 inch in size. In other words, at any given time, the printhead is printing a strip of about 1 inch in width (containing three smaller strips of various colors).
My question is this. Do all Epson printers print like this? If not, does anyone know of printers (that are not discontinued) that print smaller sections. For my project, it is essential that the total width being printed is no more than about .5 inches. Epson piezo technology is a MUST for this project, so I can't use any other manufacturer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Mike
