I've been working on inkjet printers since bubblejets were phazed out(were they?) Here's my question, or the one asked most the time from me:
What are the differences in all the Epson DX5 print heads, other than water and solvent. There are locked heads, unlocked heads, black fpc, green fpc, four-color, six-color.... and lets say mine uses a green 30pin fpc, as long as i use a green fpc one will that work? or I have a machine that uses or has 4 whites connected instead of 2 whites and 2 clears, will that head work any differently or is it still the same? I am almost done making a low pressure head cleaner for the dx5 head, because the professional model is cost prohibitive. I just found this site and it makes me wonder, how come all these companies are based or shipping out of Florida?
Thanks for having me and keeping me informed.
