[57north-discuss] Re: Printhead for the A0 Plotter

Hiya Yea, it's something that we sort of talked about before, but didn't reach a conclusion. I agree, there is definitely value in having tools and equipment in the space that people wont have at home. Is it a Canon PF-04 Print Head - Canon 3630B001AA, like... https://www.ipfstore.co.uk/canon-pf-04-print-head---canon-3630b001aa-4620-p… ...which is £295 there. Or £419 on Amazon.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-3603B001AA-PF04-Print-Head/dp/B0026ESN6G Or £391 on cartridgepeople.com... https://www.cartridgepeople.com/Print-Head/Canon-3603B001-Original-9568.html Does anyone know anywhere else good for printing supplies? I don't really understand if this is a sort of consumable item, that wears out, like a laser drum, or if it's just a case of replacing a faulty part. Anyone have a better understanding of this? There is a 2d printer page on the wiki, that we could also update with relevant info, at... https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=tools:printers ...I put some basic stuff about this printer on there when we got it, we could definitely add to that page. So I guess it's a case (as ever) of... 1) How much it is? 2) How are the funds looking? 3) If the majority of people think it's a good idea & good value? Good to discuss these things on the list here :) Cheers Andy On Fri, 6 Oct 2023 at 15:54, Iain R. Learmonth <iain(a)learmonth.me> wrote:
