Cold Heat (R) Soldering Irons

[Rich Grise]

I've had much better luck so far.

When I think back, I'll cop to being impatient with the thing - there
was some very dense foam right inside the little filler hole, and
I think I knew at the time that if I sat there for the rest of the
night ever-so-slowly infusing the ink, microliter by microliter by
microliter - That's when I took it back.

Thanks,
Rich

Why's that? Last and only time I used one there were no problems with the
syringe and needle transfer.

The one I had didn't come with a needle - the syringe nozzle was about
3/16" diameter, like those epoxy-in-a-syringe syringes, but just the
one. I said in another post, that I knew I could have just let it sit
there and maybe fill the tank by osmosis, but I wanted to print in
less than a week's time. ;-)

Thanks,
Rich

You pay your money and take your chances.
Are new printheads available for your printer,or are the PHs integral with
the ink cartridges?

Integral, AFAIK. Lexmark... old HP Deskjet.

You shove the syring into the foam, draw back a bit and fire. Take
little time.

Well, yabbut. I did kind of try different techniques, but each and
every one resulted in more ink on me, my clothes, the desk, the printer,
the docs, the keyboard, the mouse pad, the toilet flush lever...

I believe I am man enough to admit defeat when one is bested by a
frickin piece of frickin plastic.

Thanks,

I think someone forgot to pack the needle. Didn't the instructions
mention it?

I'm sorry yes you are right. I took mine apart again today and you are
correct that the batteries are connected directly across the tip, for
6V across the slot, not 12V. And the IC does power the white LED, like
you say, not the tip. I don't know why I remembered 12V.

At that point, I wasn't able to, since it was all covered with
that danged ink! ;-)
