"Spindle" for the Epson Pro Stylus 7500

[Eirik Berger]

I have a Epson Pro Stylus 7500 set up with MIS Ultratone ink and IJC/OPM from Bowhaus. It works like a charm, the only thing is that I don´t have the paper roll spindle that keeps the paper roll in place.

That means I do have the metal rod, so the roll kan be threaded onto this before printing, but i miss the plastic parts that mounts on each end of the roll.

I have contacted dealers here in Norway, and theycan´t help me. Does any of you now companies that may have this part in stock?

the spindle for the 7500 has been carried on to the 7600, 7800 and now the current 7880. If you don't want to get a new spindle (US$150) the easiest thing to do would be to grab the plastic pieces that come with your rolls, carefully cut a hole in the center and use that to hold it onto the spindle. It's not a perfect solution but it's free.
