No, but what may look like being copies of one and the same could well work differently in practice. The Z3100 heads have two ink channels each and there are 6 types of heads, they look very similar but per head the droplet size is different, in that case (if the any chip data on the head didn't prevent their use in another slot anyway) the shifted droplet sizes would make it impossible to calibrate and profile the printer properly not to mention image quality shifts where denser inks get bigger droplets than HP intended. I do not know the printer model you have and its specs but you could check whether the same could be the case for the heads on that model. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst | Dinkla Grafische Techniek | | www.pigment-print.com | | ( unvollendet ) | Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPDesignJet_Printers Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
