gee... I wonder if that is what is causing all the racket in our old laserjet at work... it sounds like things are grinding together, being forced around things.... I wonder.... there was a bit too much magenta on all the printouts... maybe I should check the tonal quality of that color....

sounds just like when i refill my printers:laugh: Lexmark's Z52's as well as a few other models have plastic lids on their cartridges that you have to pop off before you can get to the filler hole, but then you have to tape the lid back on and it's not guaranteed to stay put.:rolleyes: The other problem sounds a bit more Epson-centric, as the print heads are built in. If a cartridge leaks it cross-contaminates all the heads and the image may then be then a bit heavy in magenta and weak in yellow(air bubble). Then i have to make a few prints with cleaning fluid until it looks right. I hate the quality of the refill inks out there X|

Nice fake, but interestingly (or sadly) such things have actually happened. In a previous life as a photocopier tech, I have heard of a skinned mouse coming out of the end of a copier. If you know anything about such gadgets, you'll know that anything going through the paper path from the in-tray will be firstly squashed flat going in, then subjected to extremely high voltage as it passes under the drum (A.K.A. electrocuted), then fed along a conveyor belt across another set of earthing electrodes (normally used for separating the charged paper) and finally fed into a high-pressure, very hot fixing roller as it exits the machine. I imagine it was as it entered the hollow rollers heated by hot lamps at the exit is where the skin came off. Yech.

That's a pretty good photoshop :) The mouse's shadows are matched pretty well with the angle and lighting, and consistent with amount of flash used in taking the picture of the printer, but the reflections seem a bit off. The eyes need a little larger/brighter one looking straight on, while the one in the back is a bit much, suggesting that there's a much brighter light source pointing at a different angle. The light refracted off the printer could not qualify as being bright enough to overpower the flash. The reflection on the roller should have had been a bit less bright behind the head as well Now we could have a competition on who can return the printer to the original mouseless state in under five minutes or reconstruct the mouse in under an hour:laugh: Roswell :)

I can imagine what that smelled like X| but unfortunately little creatures like that always like to go where there's warm and they can fit themselves into. Read Jeffry Brickley's "Malodorous rodent" poem. It's pretty good and kinda fits the theme:laugh:. Just click on his member icon and you'll see it in the blog. Roswell

Yeah, just select the roller and green strip to the right of the mouse with a polygonal lasso[L] and do a layer via copy [Ctrl + J], then use the move tool [V] to align the "patch" over the mouse and use a layer mask to smooth over the edges. Now if you want decent quality, use the rubber stamp [S] tool instead of the above process, but this will take a little while longer. I wish i had my backups here, so i could show a picture that took a whole day to do, considering the amount of detail. But oh well. Roswell

that actually happened in my house...except it was in a humane mouse trap[^]...the device has a mechanical spring activated rotating chamber with a trip lever in the center of the tunnel that is suppose to sweep the mice into a holding area...but one mouse somehow twisted as the sweeper rotated and got caught in the sweeper chamber tube and the top of the mouses' head got sheered off...not pleasent getting the mouse body and brains out of the box X| On the plus side...no more mice in the house...except for the ones connected to computers ;) Steve
