That time of yr...new printers

[bigj2552]

is there a ciss system available for the Ricoh SG-3110DN ?
or is it a case of refill carts ?

and yes, i know its gel inks , not ordinary sub inks

update to this...
after using epson and brother printers from the start of our business, we are going to break the fix with those brands,
and have bought 3 ricoh 3110dn printers :biggrin:

cant seem to find any CISS systems for these, so its refillable carts for the 3 of em.
yes it more of a pain to refill than the external CISS systems, but it a hell of a lot more cheaper than paying through the nose for the grossly overpriced sawgrass inks :rolleyes:

same quality gel inks we will be using, just sourced elsewhere - and please, no PM'S where to get them.....google is your friend

will get the printers, ink and ink carts all delivered by end of this week, then we can see how these printers perform over time.


wondering what they will be like for clogging, as the epson are a PITA at :rolleyes:

With the inks you should be on a winner!

then we shall trial this one and see what all the hoo ha has been about these printers, before the other 2 get here

Does the powerdriver work if they are not sawgrass inks?

have not got anywhere near that stage yet flippin thing aint detecting the cyan cart, and keeps saying the right hand door is open, and it aint

anyone else with these printers had this ?

dunno if it duff cart. or something we aint doing right with printer

My Epson never recognises the cyan. I haven't got round to changing the cart, but opening and closing the ink cart door fixes it.

yep we tried that several times.

but it showing the door is open, when it clearly aint ;(

having a crap start to 2016 - this printer is going back, and new one will be sent out.
hope the others aint the same tbh, or bang goes my "get rid of our Epson's theory" lol
