I've been meaning to pass on this bit of useful info for quite a while now: A couple of months ago I happened to visit one of the several little hardware repair shops we have here in town which I knew used to repair and upgrade Mac-hardware without Apple's help (and a lot cheaper at that) ... and I found that they had "discovered" a market niche which keeps them more than busy: repairing printheads of all kinds. knowing what the price of my IW1 printhead was billed at (to Apple - under warranty :-), I think, you'll agree with me that the contents of their flyer (which I just rediscovered), is worth telling you about: 3-5 DAY TURNAROUND 6 MONTH WARRANTY Apple ImageWriter-1 $32 Epson 80,100(mx,fx,rx) $38 NEC 8023,24,25,27 $32 OkiData 82-84, 92,93 $62 OkiData 182,183,192,193 $40 (this flyer lists a lot more types - the flyer is dated Sept 1, 87) Printheads not mentioned will be taken on a free evaluation basis. We buy printheads, any type. Shipping information: All Items sent in must have an RMA number. return by UPS COD 2nd day air. Terms only after approval of credit.
