  1. XR640 Intermittent false low ink

    Would have had to be factory add on as the only service its ever had from techs was the initial setup - do my own servicing Im considering trying it without the piece of hose to see if it makes any difference. Might need to find some long pliers or something to avoid having to dismantle the...
  2. XR640 Intermittent false low ink

  7. Versaworks 6

    Its not a very good upgrade, still seems to be limited to 3GB of ram. Seems like it really needs a ground up rewrite.
  8. Versaworks 6

    about damn time! 32bit VWD was really getting long in the tooth. Although 64bit seems to really be the only upgrade other than minor tweaks. Be interested to see how much faster stuff might rip now it actually can access more ram and hopefully more than 1 cpu core.

  17. Swapping yellow and black heads possible?

    worked perfectly, few hours work and not much than a bit of wasted ink. Yellow head hides the bad head very well, hardly noticeable.
