Stuart sent me a link to this thread and think I can enlighten everyone a bit.īasically all Mitsubishi printer media has RFI chips built into the ribbon rollers. how do I get my printers un-programmed so that they work with any media or indeed, able to print from my PC when I am working on postcard production rather than as a photo booth? I am really annoyed that I have been quoted over £1000 for five boxes of media which here in the Uk cost less than £50 per box. Therefore, its something in the film/rollers. It is only when you put the UK supplied film in the machine that you get the error! I have done a little bit of analysis, mixing our apple supplied media with that purchased here in the UK. Having loaded the media up, the machine will not work even though the media is physically - exactly the same. It was not made clear to me that the photobooths were proprietory when I purchased them and I recently purchased replacement consumables, (paper and ink rolls) for my photo booths here in the UK. I bought two booths from Apple Industries and have been seriously compromised at a major UK exhibition. I too am having the problem with 'encripted' media/printers in my photo booths. But to charge $300 more for paper and ink is also VERY unethical. Now I know this might be an unethical question on trying to beat a companies proprietary standards.

The printer is a Mitsubishi 9550DW-B Now the 'B' is unsearchable but everything is just like the regular 9550. I don't see how they could attach anything to the roll of paper. Because the paper get shipped in one roll and I then attach the standard paper mounts for the printer to each roll of new paper. Now I have examined both sets of paper and ink (from the photo booth company and one from online store) and I can not find ANY differences in the two.ĭoes anyone know how they are doing this? Is there some kind of magnet somewhere? Maybe infrared sensor? Or could I just download a new driver for it? I assume if there is something like that it would have to be in the ink roll. But once I put in the paper and ink from the photo booth company it works just fine. So I ordered the paper and ink online from someone else and the printer lights show an error. But I can find the same paper and ink rolls online for 99 - 150 bucks. The photo booth company charges me $450.00 per box of paper and ink. The photo booth maker has some how made the Mitsubishi printer proprietary to their paper only. I own a couple photo booths that I rent out on the side for extra income. I certainly hope someone can help me with this issue I'm having.
