Re: Bit of a printer dilemma

Post by Lornem »

Just bought a shed load of sublimatable blanks, and when i went to pick it up got offered 120 shirts polos etc. as well

was also offered an epson R1800 all the paper flock etc for £25, it came with a CIS system and spare XPRES ink, but hadn't been used in about 8 months, and naturally when i got home, i tried it out and as can be expected hardly anything printed on the paper

dilemma is, is it worth all the messing about trying to make it work, being as cack handed as i am ... or would you give it up as a bad job ?

PS. four sets of normal epson inks came with it as well, would it be any easier to convert it back to a normal printer ?

Hi,

I've been waiting for some progression in this thread for a while but it seems pretty dead! I'd just like to say that I would really like to buy the R1800 off you if you are not using it or even just a small board from it if you want to keep spares :)

I hope to hear from you soon

Cheers,
Gideon
