Re: Heavy duty A4 Sublimation printer
Unless you go for Sawgrass (wouldn't recommend) then in reality any desktop A4 printer is NOT for commercial use but is a personal printer shoe-horned into using sublimation ink. Therefore most are fine art printers and are slow. We still use a bank of Sawgrass SG400 because we cannot find any decent A4 printers that can handle mass printing nor colour matching. Every Epson we've used has been terrible for mug printing (in terms of colour match and hundreds of prints a day) thus we cross fingers the SG400's still run each morning! If you're not bothered about needing to use mug paper then the big boys all use wide format prints (think 7800) and cut the paper for use on mugs once printed. They are bulk heavy duty printers that will out last any desktop model.
