I have a Ricoh sg2100 ( I know not the best ) I ordered it in a package at it came with ink and paper
After hours of trying to get it to install I eventually managed but everything has a orange tinge to it .
Im printing from shilouette studio so not sure if that's the issue or if it's shit ink or paper or something I am doing wrong.
Im completely new to this and have read so much stuff online it's got me completely confused and in a pickle
any advise would be greatly appreciated

Re: Help please !!
You'll find all the answers already here but in a nutshell.....You've hit the nail on the head, 2100 isn't a good sublimation printer. Assuming your inks are the right consistency (Ricoh inks need to be thicker than Epson) then your problem will probably be profile related? You should have been given a profile with the inks, if not, you need to get one done (See member Paul)
Silhouette Studio again probably isn't suitable.....search for this on the forum.
My biggest concern would be your inks. Do you know for a fact that they are suitable for Ricoh? Epson inks will initially work in the Ricoh but as they are thinner, over time will dry out and ruin the head.
You've gone down the cheapest possible route and whilst you seem to be getting half decent results will at some time realise it pays to get decent equipment. Ricoh 3110 is your best bet with good inks.
