Easiest CISS system ever

[Ian M]

Hi All,

I said sometime ago I wish you could get ICC profiles for Brother printers. I have just seen this for the Brother printer I use for my everyday printing & now knowing Brothers have the piezo print heads I now want one for my sublimation printing.

Manufacturer's videos always make things look easy don't they!

True Martin but, I think the Brother that I use has to be the closest printer to the Ricoh's.

I discovered that the Brother printers use piezo (non-thermal) printheads when I got my first Brother all-in-one and saw that the inks were remote from the printhead.

I wonder why Sawgrass limit us to Epson printers when Brother do a massive range of these type of printers. My latest Brother all-in-one does everything from scanning, to working with memory cards/USB sticks with its colour pop-up scree, to printing A3, to running from a smartphone (both scanning and printing), faxing, etc --- all for cheaper than the Epson single-function equivalent (B1100).

Yet we're still stuck with this antiquated "square peg in round hole" adapting of Epson printers with a CISS and cables flopping about all over the place. Every time a printer is discontinued we have to buy a brand new CISS complete with loads of ink, whether we need it or not.

Still, it's nice that Sawgrass "support" us when we use their ink, isn't it...

Butros Butros Galli, magnifico.

Sorry watched the video and that came to mind. Must be something to do with Monday mornings

JSR, I couldn't agree with you more. One good thing is Sawgrass doesn't support me as I don't use their inks come to think of it that means I don't support them either
