Re: Ricoh GX7000 - Borderless Printing?

Would it be possible to mount your A4 sheet temporarily onto an A3 'carrier' sheet, or do you need such a large print run that his would add too much labour/time ?
Or am I missing the point ? (Very likely !)

Re: Changing ink

<t>Hi all.<br/>
Similar problem, so I hope Drix doesn't mind my tagging along.<br/>
<br/>
I've just acquired some gx7000 that have had dye-sub inks in them, but I want to convert some of them back to gel inks. <br/>
Read the suggestion of filling empty carts with cleaning fluid (like what ?), then ...

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

<t>An update on my quest for a bypass tray.<br/>
<br/>
I have just acquired a job lot of GX7000's !!<br/>
Described as 'spares or repairs', my first task will be to see if any of them work.<br/>
However, those that don't will become powered feeds for the 'Greybeard Alternative Feed Accessory' , or ...

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

<t>Latest update from the firm that were convinced they could supply me with at least the BY1000 bypass "our suppliers tell us they're not available any more".<br/>
Well, well, there's a surprise.<br/>
Getting to look like only a miraculous appearance of a second hand one, or I hack my own.<br/>

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

<r>Surprise, surprise - " We can supply the 1010 in 7 days from receiving the order". Asked for an ETA - "oops, it's no longer available".<br/>
However, there is GOOD news. The 1000 <U><s>[U]</s>is<e>[/U]</e></U> available, so I've ordered one. <br/>
Looking at the back of my 3000, I've convinced ...

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

<r>Thank you BMS for the latest pm, which, as I feared, confirms the non availability of the various bypass trays that I'm interested in.<br/>
Quote <I><s>[I]</s>Suppliers have confirmed they can't get these even though they are listed. Likewise the BY1020 is listed but are not available anymore ...

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

Hi ArferMo,
Yes, that's the one that led me to include it in my list on #18, but I haven't yet found any source of its suitability to mod to fit the 7000

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

<t>I can now widen my request to any of the following BY1000 (for a 3000), BY1010 (for 7000), BY1020 for 7700(but a simple mod to fit the 7000), and possibly the BY1050 for the 7100, but I don't know yet if that can be modded to fit the 7000.<br/>
Any additional info regarding the bypass trays ...

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

Martin may be on holiday, for all I know, so I don't want to jump the gun, but what was the point of saying they were available, if within a week it proves not to be the case ?

Re: BY1010 GX 7000 bypass tray

<t>I've tried that, Justin, with both a pm to Martin, and contacting BMS through their web site.<br/>
Quote from BMS "I made an enquiry with our suppliers about these last week and was informed that they were unable to source them anymore. I can only suggest waiting to see if Martin comes back to ...
