I acquired a little Epson HI-80 plotter the other day - for a
"consumer-grade" device with a small page size it looks to be quite a nice
little unit. Of course the pens are all but dried up (there's a little life
left in the red and blue, enough to see that the self-test is working).
So... has anyone tried adding fresh ink to these? I assume the pens
themselves haven't been sold in well over 20 years. It looks like it's
probably possible to open the pens up, but I assume that any replacement
ink needs to be just the right consistency for it to soak into the pen tips
properly but not end up all over the place.
cheers
