Hi !
I am now just finishing up my Epson Artisan 50 printer that I modified to rear
load rigid and flex PCB. The mod for this printer is so very easy to do! I would
say (now that I did it already) should take about 4 to 5 hrs. of easy modding.

I can now run any single sided or double sided PCB down to 2.5" x 3.5" and up to
8.5" x 22" with no carrier.

Basically the mod goes like this:

Rip out entire front pizza wheel rollers assembly, keep bottom rubber roller
assembly in place.
Rip out top paper loading assembly, cut off anything that is not vertically
connected to the side attachment walls. Put back vertical wall sides and the
axial gear that attaches to it.
Cut 4" in from left rear of case bottom a 1.5" tall x 9" wide from the rear
bottom case. Power pack remains where it is.
Install 8" x 10" x 1/8" Plexiglas (Home Depot has this to size already) for read
feed bed.(set feed bed height with nylon spacers).
Attach two 3/4" x 1/2" x 8.5" long aluminum "L" channel to rear feed bed.(3/4"
side gets glued down to feed bed).
Attaching a 2" long x 1/2" diameter round nylon extension "handle" extending the
existing paper drive roller to the outside of case enables you to manually feed
your PCB and make ultra fine pre-printing alignment adjustments.
Adjust printer head up to allow for thickness of PCB. (easy left and right set
screw adjustments already on printer).

When finished with mod, the entire original case goes back on and looks great!

To use:
To load any PCB, simply tape a 2" leader with its right hand edge shifted 1" to
the right (so the printer can pull the PCB through) ahead of your PCB to be
printed.
