We sell a lot of the WF7110 printers, when we first tested them with CISS / RIC and sublimation inks we found them to be very troublesome. The colours would stop and start printing randomly especially following ink exchange or ink level resets. We shelved the model for close to a year, we then found a way to make them chipless meaning they would always show a full ink level reading thus never require the inks to be reset or removed from the printer head.

Using a WF7110 that is 'chipless' has been brilliant and trouble free so far. We have 3 currently running as test machines in the office all running Inktec Sublinova inks with no issues at all. We have since started selling them to the public and sold over 100 units, had a couple back due to poor setup on the customers end but other than they have been a great model and had great feedback from customers.

I have taken a look at your printers INKEXPRESS.
Is ther much difference between the WF7110 and the trusty 1500 ?
can you notice much difference between 4 and 8 colour?

What about lifetime / reliability?

The WF7110 has a good life span.

Mine has knocked out around 17,000 prints so far without issue, and with a simple to remove waste container maintenance is very easy.

Compared to the 1500W print quality suffers slightly due to there not being a light cyan and light magenta.
That said it is still a detailed and vibrant print that would knock the socks off any Ricoh print.
Speed of a print on high quality is decreased when compared to a 1500W, but as a cost effective way to print A3 it can't be beaten.

It comes into it's own when you are knocking out a lot of prints.
You can leave them going overnight without having to worry about a cartridge empty error.
As long as there is paper in the tray and ink in the tanks it won't stop.

Like Alex said, we disliked them for a long time, but as soon as you modify them to be chipless it's hard to pick a fault with it.

Here are some print samples from a WF7110 printer and a 1500W for comparison. Both printers are using Inktec Sublinova inks, custom ICC profile (that we provide for either printer), and Subli-Sharp or Subli-TEXTILE transfer papers depending on the product.
