How to move a printer First I would never move a printer in a small trailer. At least with a larger enclosed trailer you can move the load to the front of the trailer so that it is not over the axles and wheels. Years ago I shipped crates of glass all over the country using semi trailers and...

When installing new cap tops does it matter which way the cap top is installed. On one side you have a short piece of plastic does it matter which side this is on when you install the cap top? My printer is an SP-300 with two heads. Does it matter if the yellow is on the right side with the...

Here is the test print. Anything I print with red in it comes out kind of faded looking and very light in color. It also appears from the test print like ink is bleeding from one color to the other or is this normal? Thanks Jim

Jackie Robinson I lived near him years ago when he lived in Stamford, Ct. He was really a very nice and good man not to mention one hell of a baseball player. I think the family still lives in Stamford. Jim

Otctech Thank You !!!!!!!!!! I had removed only the lower part of the ribbon cable off of one head but some how when replacing the dampers I must have just moved the upper ribbon cable enough and that was the problem. I had already looked at the bottom part of the cable to make sure it was...
