Epson L3110 vs Sawgrass SG400

[Kiwi_Waka]

Hi,

I'm going to buy a used Stahls clam press locally tomorrow and the guy also has an SG400 for sale for £200. I'm thinking about buying it but I already have an Epson L3110 I bought last week and can't return as I've already set it up and used it a few times. I'm willing to write off / sell the cheaper Epson if the Sawgrass is going to produce substantially better prints but I have no idea how much better the SG400 will be. I'll be using it for mugs and t-shirts. What do you think?

The Ricoh are based on a business printer not photo printer. Quality is acceptable for many, personally I wouldn't touch them. That said, I don't know the L3110 so unable to compare. Are you happy with the print? Is it 4 colour?

[Kiwi_Waka]

Yes it's 4 colour with an eco tank. Haven't had much luck with it so far but the nozzle check is good so most likely my own fault. Colours aren't perfect but again, most likely my settings and my understanding of ICC profiles and how to use them correctly. I think I'll stick with what I have and just learn how to use it properly.

I love my L3110, it's my goto now. Once it's dialled in it's a cracking little printer. It does suffer from pizza wheel marks but slowing the print speed down a little puts that to bed I rarely use my Ricoh now.
