NON user-serviceable ET-2400 ink pads, information needed.
Tekst:
I am thinking about buying an ET-2400 (brief Black Friday discount = $179) and I have done my research but the one thing that seems to have almost no information is the waste ink pad situation. From Epson's ++[link|https://files.support.epson.com/docid/cpd6/cpd62154.pdf|ET-2400 user guide|new_window=true]++ (see pages 159-160) it tells me that there are 2 different inkpads (one for borderless printing, the other for normal printing). But it also says that these pads are ***''NOT''*** user serviceable components (so there is no Maintenance Box to buy) and that it requires they be replaced by an "authorized Epson service provider".
# Any idea roughly how often these pads need replacing?
# Any idea what it costs to have it done the official Epson way?
# Any tutorials on DIY that is written ''specifically'' for the ET-2400 (for either or both types of ink pads) ??
Any help with any of these questions is appreciated.
