Re: UK Suppliers

Thanks

I did buy a printer and inks from Ink Experts as the new BMS don't seem to sell printers.

It's nice to see something go down in price for a change (ink).
I was paying about twice for one Sublijet Ricoh cartridge than I did for 4 x 100ml bottles for an Epson

Re: Waste Ink Collector

For the GX7000 you pop the tank out of the printer and remover the top cover.

You then put a piece of white card under the optical sensor (so the printer gets a reflection back and no longer thinks the tank is full) and pop the cover back on.

Re: Waste Ink Collector

I've done the Conde trick on my GX7000 too.

If you try it make sure you use glossy white paper/card.
I used normal white card at first and it just absorbed the ink in the tank and became black card :)

Re: Corel draw, which one?

I've used X3 for several years. It works just fine with the Craft Robo cutter.

Re: upgrading my laptop O/S to W8 Pro

You can install it without using Windows Live credentials.

If you're using it for dyesub I don't think PowerDriver for Windows 8 is out yet.
