Fixing Printer Printhead, Suggestions on Copper Trace

[Microman]

I did the best I could, then reassembled. Think it has a new problem.... As it says the ink unit cant move, but it does move to the left. Each time I try, and then it bangs into the left side... Got it back together, and had the experience and felt I did what I could, no telling what might be wrong. or how close I came. I could keep it for some parts, but not necessarily the whole ink cart holder thingy...

Any recommendation on a printer that is reasonable on INK, and accepts 3rd party ink readily? I still will be using my other HP6700 and my daughters HP6700, as they seem to work great.

Thanks for the responses...

I have no idea how much ink costs on these printers. I know Robert M is the HP Inkjet expert here, LOL. Maybe.

Anyway if I had to get an inkjet these days, I would look into an Epson Ecotank since they take large ink bottles or pouches and the cost per page is supposed to blower than other inkjet. I think Brother also came out with a model with large ink cartridges to compete but I never looked into details.

I so hope the razor blade model goes away and we pay the real price for printers and ink. It's better for our wallets and for the planet in the long term.

[no, I do not have experience with these models, all I know is they probably want to compete with epson Ecotank, I guess]

A rear window defroster kit might work for the contact repair.

but is it worth investing if the change of success is not known?
