Does anyone else have problems with the tubes getting stuck at the side of the printer half way through a print? ... lol
ive had it happen a few times and it makes a hell of a noise and sometimes gets stuck and ruins the print...
Are they all like this or just the cheap crap i bought from lovecut?
Iplan on going up to a3 printer next year and will buy the css ink system from a reputable supplier but just wondered if it was a common thing as i know epson printers arent designed with the tubes in mind...
so much so that yesterday i took an old knife ... draped it in a hot flame and proceeded to cut out the plastic surroundings of my s21 ... only a £35 printer so hey ...who cares about a warranty..
i took out both sides and the plastic arm that went across the middle.... lifted the cover and taped the tubes to it above...
now it works like a dream ...nothing in its way to get clogged on and it runs as quiet as a mouse now...why the hell do they put all that extra plastic on them is beyond me...well i expect its to stop us filling our own cartridges i guess...
i think its time the people at epson or whoever designed a system of printers that suit our sublimation needs :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
