Just looking at this printer with interest, 6 colour A4 for £80'ish. I wonder if Sawgrass plan to support as it would be good to have another A4 6 colour machine supported.

Read a few reviews and it sounds ok.

I'm after another 6 colour printer and really only need A4 for this.

P50 has been around for a while and nothing that I'm aware of in the pipe line from Sawgrass on this :( .

Wondered how long it had been around, not a printer I've heard much about. Looking at the pics it appears to be based on the D120 chassis so I wonder if there's any logical reason why it wouldn't work for sublimation? Maybe even using a 1400 profile seeing as it's a 6 colour printer.

Maybe Sawgrass have tried it without success or maybe there was a decision made that the only 6 colour printer to be supported would be A3 format, the latter I assume.

Justin, I saw this on ebay

I might well get one because i still have lots of ink left after my 1290 blew up (6 colours), shame to waste that ink.

You can get the printer for £81 delivered, isn't this CIS already filled? I would either use refil carts or a CIS from Ink City Express, works out about the same price but better quality CIS imo ;)

May well be worth trying for sublimation. I know some folk have also used the S21 but I believe Sawgrass chose not to support this, not heard anything either way about the P50 yet though.

Justin,

I sent a very long & detailed IM to someone who wanted help a few weeks ago on using an S21 & you know I never even had a thank you back from him :evil:

Send it to me Ian, I'll have a read and I promise to respond! ;) It is a shame when members don't respond though, I know what your saying, you spend ages putting a lengthy message together, the least they could do is acknowledge it.
