Dr Stuff Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi.. is it possible to use uv curable ink on a cheap Epson XP 310? I only need an A4 size for my application and I'm not looking for a fast setup. I can manage to do the flat bed conversion, but i'm unsure about the uv ink compatibility with this type of piezoeletric head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilesink Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I very much doubt the head would work with uv ink or not for long if it does. You would also need to find uv proof cartridges for it or convert it to use dampers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptilesink Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 uv ink can destroy a print head and associated parts. If it's a cheap printer then its worth trying but I doubt the head in that model is any use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Stuff Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thanks...I'll have a go and feedback the results of this potentially destructive test to the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
