Exploration of printhead alignment sensor.
POSAM_Man_Ch1_Assembly_v1-4_050511. Design of an active printhead alignment mechanism. Epson Stylus 760 - A home made continuous inking system (CIS,CFS) February 2002, It beats me why CIS systems are so expensive, the ozi exchange doesn't help but even so.... I was quoted AU$875.00 INC GST for a CIS kit (this includes some ink that I don't want anyway). I could probably have imported a kit myself for half this amount but even this is expensive. It took me a week and 5 versions of the prototype to figure it out but I've now printed a dozen perfect prints using a CIS which costs under $20 in parts and under 2 hours to build. The proof of concept prototype is not pretty but it works. My house now looks even more like a war zone, I look like I've been finger painting and people keep laughing at my creation - but it is all worth it. The story goes like this. Over a year ago I bought a epson stylus 760 (it is now feb 2002) . One question I asked early was "will this ink fade?
". Changing carts is to a bad thing. There is an obvious risk of killing the printer while trying to re-invent a CIS system but printers are cheap particularly old ones... InkJetAcademyBibliography. BenLyles_HPPrintheadDesign0805.
