Epson 5850 - Anyone using?

[Justin]

Not a printer I've ever used but interested to know if these are any good in comparison to other printers?

Come on folks any feedback? Also like feedback on the WF-C5290DW.

Hi Justin,

I have the EPSON WF-C5210DW, both models are very similar, I bought this with the intention of doing A4 sublimation prints. Bought the refillable cartridges from Aliexpress with no problems. Bought Inktec inks from a supplier on eBay, great bit of kit to be honest for the price. Never had any major problems so far.

Many thanks what's the print quality like?

I only ever used the Ecotank printers ET14000(A3+) and ET 2650 (A4), I would say the WF model is probably the same quality, I only ever use Inktec inks and only use Beaver paper and Jetstream, so kinda fine-tuned them all to get great results especially on 100% polyester. There is a video of my model on Youtube that's been converted to sublimation, after watching it I decided to buy it, done my own setup though to save money. the video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n9YtVwD23g
