Thought I'd share the results of an afternoon's tinkering with you all...
I bought an Epson Stylus Photo EX a couple of years ago to output a
massive load of work for my Architecture post-grad Diploma, and it
did that admirably.
Happily it was a month or so after I handed in my portfolio that
problems developed... The carriage would skip half a page's width,
accompanied by unhealthy noises, the likes of which I've only heard
before when a bit of gear selector fell into the gearbox of my Honda
XL185s motorbike, with the result of total demise of bike.
The printer worked intermittently until recently I could not get it
to work properly at all, merely growling and clattering and spraying
ink everywhere. I assumed worn gears and prepared to bin the printer-
a shame as it has produced some beautiful prints.
A very extensive web search finally gave me a clue- tranverse beam
(on which the carriage runs) lubrication. A few drops of
sewing-machine oil appears to have miraculously healed the printer...
so there.
Does anyone know what lubricant an Epson tech would use and how applied?
regards
M.
