I have seen this ink on ebay and wandered if anyone has used it...It just seems so cheap...

Not sure it's that cheap for standard ink is it ?

[rossikey]

Is that not the refills for the ciss system then.....

This is normal ink not sublimation ink. Normal ink can cost as little as a few pounds per litre when bought in bulk, so this is reasonable for ordinary ink if you need it for day to day printing/ photos but you'll be wasting your money thinking it's for sublimation printing.

OT - have just put some offers on the DSF for members needing inks this week - Artainium, Ricoh GXe3300 and Ricoh GX5050/ GX7000. Have a peek at the Member to Member Offers...

We've talked about this for while now on the forum but the same questions are still getting asked - would it not be better to put up an idiots guide for peeps new to sublimation.

Not trying to put anybody down but the same question was asked a while ago with the same answer, along with printer carts not showing as installed, refills with airlocks and why's mine not working etc. Martin from BMS seems to answer these time and time again !

Got to be a sticky with some simple Q n A's

I have been offered sublimation inks for $40 per liter but those are cheap chineese inks.
I wouldn't trust them because you get no ICC profile or nothing with them so you have to make your own, so that is alot of blanks and alot of ink to waste, and also I've heard that these inks change from batch to batch so you would maybe have to tune in the inks for every order you would make.
So I think I will stick to the proven inks form Sawgrass even though they are much more expensive. (the powerdriver is awesome!)
Plus that would mean I would have to scrap my Ricoh and get an Epson... NOT going to happen
