I do have access to the ink ports (one per colour). I had seen that as an option (I think the page I saw suggested squeezing the solution through). To be honest I don't know what I'll do even if I do get it running. I have yet to find a source of ink for this model so I may be wasting my time. Epson.com says they're discontinued. I also have my old flatbed scanner still wrapped up. I'll probably send that one straight to recycling. And I need to work out what I want to do with my film scanner. If the Pentax slide duplicator wasn't so expensive I'd sell the scanner and buy one of those.
