Hi Everyone.


I am Darrin and by trade I am a Gas Service Engineer, but in my spare time I have a great passion for printing and techy sort of stuff from fixing iPones etc to developing websites in php etc.


I love the great adventure of getting new items to print or play with.

Fantastic intro, you must have spent a few quid there..

You have probably been through the forum already in the past so will be aware of the knowledge shared here, as far as I ave seen this is the only forum really for this kind of stuff.

Welcome.

The 'Holy Grail' for a lot of us though is a 'Solvent Printer' so I am interested in this machine you have en-route from HK ? What is it?

After a lot of research i went for This little gem the printer itself is an epson stylus 230, although the heads and pumps only last so long there are plenty of ebay cheapies to buy to replace the head etc. I will post as much as i can from delivery to my first printed experiance and try to get a few videos as there is not many in english about these printers.

Excellent, we love anything like this - delivery, setup, first impressions etc of any new machine to the market (well, I have seen this One anyway - others may have).

Will you be using their Ink or sourcing closer to home ?

I have often thought of building a solvent printer, maybe thats something I will do this Winter..

Welcome to the forum
