hi
thx for the replies

i havnt been able to get in contact with coralgraph today or yesterday....the phones just ringing out.

ive just drained the res. and totally drained the carts. i have 2 ciss on order from coralgraph..i ll wait and start again with a fresh system

[giftsne]

ok ive had enough of this ciss stuff.....im phoning martin at bms first thing and im hoping he can get me a ricoh with subli carts fast....yes its 300 quid dont really have but i need a swift solution if im gonner open saturday.

ill then have more printers than pronto print lol but hey i need to man up and stop rocking back and forth like arthur fowler.

1 x epson Stylus Office BX610FW Multifunction Printer

its getting silly !!!!

[Paul]

you said you opening shop. did you ever print anything yet or problems start before you printed first item? regards to ciss i would wait and contact henry first brfore you spend 300 quid.

[giftsne]

paul ive done a number of test prints on various items...ie tees, mugs and various subli stuff..with good results...but i need simplicity and reliability.

the thing is..the shop im opening isnt just personalised gifts. Its a photo studio as well as canvas prints, fine art prints and other related stuff.

the subby stuff is just one of maybe 4 aspects to the business and the subby stuff is the only aspect of the business im a total noob at.

Reflecting now i really should have gone for the ricoh method from the off. I intend to to a number of large car boot fair with the personised gifts on a weekly basis and lumping a working 1400 with ciss about will be a mission. But you live and learn.

the pressure is mounting and ive still got loads to do. I need a quick solution.

Ill still have the subby ink, two empty ciss and the 1400 in the background with the time to learn how to sort them and get them working.

When i sus it i can use them in the shop, but right now i need a speedy solution to get going as ive got a number of pre orders pending for the subby stuff.

needs must mate and tbh 300 yots is a small price to pay for me at the mo. 3 days to opening and im no where near ready. !! lol

[Paul]

get the ricoh then. ppl say that they work preety much out of the box most of the time so this is the way to go. where did you bought you inks from mate?

[Justin]

I agree with Paul, personally I use CIS/refil carts with no problems and once you get them right you'll be fine. Speak to Henry first, you can either PM him through the forum or email direct. Let me know if you need an email addy.
