I stumbled upon this while searching the web for replacement print head cables for my Epson ET 2400. While I’ve yet to find the elusive cables, I figured I’d grab a shot of this pad while I’ve got the printer all open and the tools out. I had no idea this was a thing, but if I ever find new cables and get the thing printing again, I’ll remember to watch for it now! I’m trying to add the picture, but in case it doesn’t work, it resembles the first picture you showed with the visible pads.

For the people having issues sublimating, I’d recommend using a lightweight sub paper, like 105, as I noticed a marked difference in being able to feed the paper through once I’d changed from 120. Unfortunately, the cables had already detached and chewed inside, so the machine is basically a paperweight at this point. I don’t pretend to understand why the paper would send the cables into fits of rage, but I can’t deny that it was showing a definite preference when it was still working between the 120 and the plain old printer paper, even set to photo paper printing.
