I thought Fedron was the go-to solvent for the printing / ink industry? It's also used to clean rubber parts, iirc.
Interesting point about the single-side vs. trad. cloth ribbons. I'm using a cheap-o replacement in my Panasonic "Quiet" Color KXT 24-pin (NLQ). I don't recall what ribbon was in it when it arrived, other than it was totally shot. I only use black ribbons, the color are no use to me - and terribly expensive. It's an excellent printer, as nice as any I have ever used or owned, and very compatible with the popular C-64 interfaces. Are we really cruisin' for a brusin' using cheap ribbons in this machine? Fwiw, it sees little, but occasional use - not sure if that's good or bad! ;-) -Bill On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 5:18 PM, Stefan Skoglund (lokal < [email protected]> wrote: > tis 2015-10-20 klockan 19:52 +0000 skrev tony duell: > > > > > Sanders 12/7 and 700 printheads are quite easy to take apart (but > > keep the > > pin/armature assemblies in order). > > > > Other than those, I wouldn't strip any of them! > > > > Maybe clean the face with propan-2-ol and then soak that end in the > > same solvent to > > remove any residual ink.. > > > Old Epson fx-80 ? > > (I do have a Digital wide carriage one , matched to a DEC 380 Pro.) >
