A2 or larger

[Paul]

hi guys!
Asking for bit of advice here...
I know nothing about printers that print larger then A3 so excuse me my ignorance.

What is the cheapest option to go for sublimation printer that prints A2 or larger?
Preferred 4 colours system.

thanks

Epson 4800 series are A2+ Paul, I've seen these at half decent prices.

But, as you're into refil carts etc. maybe better just to bite the bullet and go wide format?

[Paul]

what do you mean by wide format? what size?

[Justin]

Wide format is 42", I guess it depends on exactly what you plan to be printing and pressing?

[Paul]

lol
then A2+ will be ideal

Once you go above the 4000 range then it is all roll fed paper rather than sheets which I found a pain. If you are printing mugs I find it much more convenient to put through A4.

ssp! 7600 looks cool! how many colours is used in this printer?

Andrew, this is what i need. roll feeding. i already have desktop for smaller prints.

The 4800/4880 will do both roll fed and sheet fed. The 7000 series tends to be no more expensive than the 4000's though and you can even pick up the 9600's for around the same cost..... might be an extra £100. Just pot luck on what is about at the time.

I think you can get rolls for the 4400 printers Paul but if you can justify a large format surely this would be a good way to go? Tell us what you're printing so we can get a clearer picture
