Eric Gulbransen's "MY X900" Site

Over a year ago Eric Gulbransen started a most amazing thread on Luminous Landscape's Printers, Papers and Inks forum. I mentioned it in this posting here, in January of 2012. The thread Eric started has become huge. For those who care about the minutia of the 7900/9900 print heads, and a great deal more of the mechanical workings of these printers, this thread is a gold mine of information. Unfortunately, as often happens, many pages of the postings add nothing to the discussion, devolving into rants about the tone of various postings, arguments about facts vs. hearsay, and general complaints about other peoples' postings, perceived attitudes, and even word choices. Typical forum stuff, alas, the usual junk one must wade through to find the good stuff. Since that thread is, as of today, over 66 pages long, it can take a very long time to find that good stuff.

Recently, Eric started a new site on which he's collected some of the information presented in the LuLa thread, minus all the usual forum detritus. Here he's collected information, tips, and instructional videos. The site is new; there's not a great deal of content yet, but what's there is good. One can assume this will grow as Eric has time for it, and as he learns more by working with his wayward x900 printers.

Very nice, Eric. Thank you for another great resource.
