Printer for Prints and Sublimation

[leehilton90]

Hi everyone I am new and have got some great tips from you all already so I wanted to say thanks.

I think I know the answer to this but I wanted to check anyway. I am looking at getting a L805 (Sublimation) and a Canon 10s (prints) But I was wondering if there was anyone of doing this with one device efficiently or as I guess there is no option but to get the 2.

Hi
Your right in your assumption
They are different inks so you would need two different printers.

If you were looking to save money. Could you buy the L805 for sublimation, then outsource your prints to a lab?

Thanks, I currently use a company to do both the mugs and prints and just want to bring them in house if you will. Such a pain relying on them for the product. I guess I will buy the Sub printer first and get the other soon.

Hi. I understand your logic but be aware that bringing your sublimation products 'in-house' isn't simply a case of buying a printer and press (or oven) and banging out your own mugs. There's a lot of experimenting to do before you start getting results good enough for selling, and many things can go wrong when sublimating on a daily basis. You'll have great days when everything goes right, and orhers that leave you ripping your hair out!

My advice?........ Buy a wig!
