Grainy Images from a Ricoh

[Kaz]

Have told her to come join the forum.

Can she rescue the printer by putting proper subli inks back in and running them through to get rid of the Ricoh ink?

I am sure she can but how will she know that all ink is flashed? only way is to flash it with brand new subli carts. and it will cost her morgage!

[Kaz]

Right, she's now saying she got them from someone who said they got them from that website and only charged her £150.

The carts say sublijet R on them *phew*

Any ideas why image are grainy?

[Paul]

if this is normal ink mixed with subli one it may be the answer. ask this lady what side of the paper she put on the printer try wite down or up?

[Kaz]

Waiting on a reply to that Paul

Not normal inks mixed, she says she got sublijet-R inks with the printer when she bought it and it's only ever had sublijet-R inks in it

And it gets worse, she's boogered the printer as it WASN'T subli ink she put in

She posted this link for me

http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/ink-cart ... X7000.html

Am I missing something here? Surely if she puts the proper subli ink cartridges in and prints until the subli ink is coming through onto the paper, then she should be able to carry on printing for sublimation.
After all these Ricoh printers are supposed to be built like tanks so surely putting in the ink it was built for shouldn't harm it.

Jack, she's saying it was subli inks she put in, but I can't see any on that site

[mgibbs]

She should be printing to the printer called "PowerDriver R GX7000"

If the carts say SubliJet-R on them then they should be subli carts and she should be ok. After all she's saying grainy not wiping off yes?

Mark, she's saying the image is grainy and it's "speckled" with white dots and the image isn't very bright, I've asked her to press a mug and see what happens, waiting on her getting back to me again
