Ricoh GX e5550N White Speckle dot problem - Please help?

[Justin]

Only certain models are supported for good reason as they have been tested. Similar model number printers, 3350 for example are not good for sublimation. I'm guessing this model is the same. Save your time and money and go supported. Marvelpress had a cheaper Ricoh for sale with supported inks but for what you'll save my advice is get one of the Ricohs thats tried and tested.'

Thank's Scott, Yes banding is awful with this printer. Looks like back to the drawing board. I was reading on forums and people said it was a great printer, i jumped the gun too quick. May just get my self an Epson 1400

[Scotty@BMS]

The 1400 is now unavailable, but the 1500 is the new, supported A3+ Epson printer. Or check out the supported Ricoh SG3110 printer which we use ourselves. Cracking little machine!

Hi Justin, Yes i speak to Marvel press quiet often, I buy most my supplies from them and they said they would sort me out with a full setup if needed. Reason i want to come away from Epson is the hassle with inks :s nightmare.

My setup is good apart from the printer :s. I have 3x Adkins AD-1 Studio Mug Press, Adkins flat press and use good sublimation paper.... how ever thanks for your advice,

[Justin]

Good to see you have great presses, I'm a long time Adkins fan With all that great equipment it seems a shame to cut corners on the printer and inks. Check out the prices for the A4 Ricoh if you only need A4, A3 is pricey but well worth it. Listawood have 10% off everything right now including inks and printers

[Scotty@BMS]

And of course we're offering a £25 loyalty point cashback on the 3110 until the end of the month...

Yer i love aadkins, Before this i had the Beta Mug Press haha, Never did full wraps tho was half, and by god it was heavy
yer printer has always been a let down, I can get a Epson 1400 for £100, might just go for it

Scotty yer i have looked at your website a fair few times, I don't want to be buying ink carts you see at £50+ ago i would rather buy something like Visi-sub or ****** ink and fill my self.

Justin : Listawood nah i think i will give them a miss, even if they offered 50% off, had so many problems with them and with orders. Paul from Magictouch is good and Marvelpress
heard good stuff about printersowners but never ordered. I only like to use Orca coated mugs 2, Tried most on the market and these are by far the best. They don't gass out at all

I'm sorry but, we cannot discuss non approved inks other than from Sawgrass due to their patent.

[brydges]

Hello Ian, When looking on their website it shows they have the license for it?

I see what you mean, The ink is licensed but not for desktop use
