Epson 2100 Shipping |
|
|
Can anyone please advise if when shipping this printer can whatever ink is
in the waste pads spill or leak or is it suspended within the material of
the pad. I am hoping someone in this group will have knowledge of the pads. |

Jan, Was the black ink from the fitted carts or from the waste pads.

Davy, I have done just that and left the cleaning carts installed and the
system cleaned, so fingers crossed.

In transit there may be alot of shaking and vibration that may cause
the ink tp 'spray' should there be any in the docking bay thats not
been absorbed and some in the inlet nozzles and heads
A fair question that is, because you just can't remove a ink cartridge
from an Epson or maybe any other printer for that matter and leave it
out during transit.
Would the best policy not be to insert a cleaning cartridge give
several flushes and then leave the cleaning tanks in situ..?
Don't forget the waste pipe will have ink in as well and any
viberation or tilting during transit could cause the ink to drip if
left on that position.

My best guess is that it was from the ink cartridge. I would be dubious to
think it came from any other source as the foam material within the printer
shell does a good job of absorbing excess ink.

I was reading on the Epson site the other day if you are going to ship and
it will be less than 5 days leave the cartridges in. If it will take longer
than 5 days take the cartridges out.
I have shipped printers with no problems. Shipped by ground and air and
they did great both ways. |
