Epson 1430 printer modifications

Also, new cart design coming in stock soon with better locking.

Walker,

Thanks for the information. Sorry if I posted on the wrong thread. Not used to these forums. Might want to stress in the instructions that you have to press “quite a bit harder…exponentially harder” than the factory carts. Bottom line…IT WORKED!!! Thanks again!!!

Hey…a bit of a followup question on removing the pizza wheels in the 1430. As I look down into the printer from the front there are two rows of pizza wheels. The rows in the back look like they can just be popped out in groups. The ones toward the FRONT of the printer look a lot harder to get out. Any further help on the best way to do this would be a big help. Also should I take them ALL out if I want to use 13 x 19 sheets? Tried the idea of lifting up the left hand side but the printer did not like that at all. Thanks

Yes. You will need to take the front ones out. They are harder to get out. You can lift the whole array a few mm with your hand though. It’s on springs.
