On a side note.. My teflon sheet had gotten ink on it from previous runs doing sublimation items and I picked up some polyester fabric to make custom t-shirt tags and I just pressed some with my fabric and the teflon sheet and it pulled the discoloration out of my teflon sheet and into the fabric  SO in essence I just cleaned up teflon sheet LOL |

Printed yesterday on the ricoh after not using it for a couple of weeks and didn't even need a head cleaning. Hope you get your epson sorted out, that was the drawback to the epsons with sawgrass ink is they clogged too quickly.

I can see myself biting the bullet and getting a proper sublimation printer and inks if things go good.. So far the epson has let me learn the process for a fraction of the price but I was looking at that basic ricoh they had and the price wasn't that bad for a starter model but I do like having the larger print capabilities as well. |

I think Richards set up is a great way to get started! It took a little to get me to go with the rx7000 after a bad experience with a gx5050 off ebay that I didn't like the results from I bit the bullet 10 days before Christmas last year and went with the bid dog. worked out great when Stacey wanted to do that Throw. I don't ever see me going true wide format for sublimation though.
think I learned the hard way is there is no support or warranty for items purchased thru Ebay, even New in the box items. so if a print head doesn't constantly fire correctly you are SOL. Second time has been thru Conde with incredible support. If I wanted to see if I liked it I would go Cobra in a heart beat for the experience. Just set up a print head maint. program so it prints every day.

Yeap, I learned the hard way with sawgrass ink. Almost $600 bucks wasted on bulk ink system and clogged printer. As far as epson, don't tell. I purchased extended warranty on my WF1100 from Staples. No questions product replacement, so if it dies or starts to fail, atleast I'll get the credit of the purchase price towards a new one.

Claw I have the same issue with my 1100. I have learned the hard way to clean the print heads first if I have not used the printer in a few days. I use richards pigment ink and carts, not sure what the actual problem is, but after a cleaning or two it goes away.

That's the thing.. my pigment 1100 does not do this.. I use the MIS Auto print and print every couple days and I never have to clean the pigment one. But the high temp for some reason is loosing its alignment and I get banding |

Woot! Ok my printer arrived at Richards Tuesday.. He did a full clean out and flush of the system and installed the new CIS into it and he said he ran several prints through and it was running good.. I should have it back in a few days.

Proud protester against Sawgrass ink for their bullying of the other high temp ink providers! What ever you do don't buy anything from Sawgrass as this just supports their Mafia tactics.

I ordered a WF 1100 with high temp ink and received it about a month ago. We had a death in the family and haven't even hooked it up yet. Will I have a problem with clogging? I plan on getting into it soon but it may still be a while.
Thanks for any input.

If its brand new I dont think you will have a problem.. You will need to pull the plugs out and install the filters to get it going.. |

It's a small room but I've got it all laid out now and I think it will work just fine My printer returns today!!! I am so excited I have tons of stuff to do and having the CIS system in it now I am ready to really rock and roll!!  |
