A2 or larger

I know i will go for inktek. most descent gamut out there... But need some more help when buying epson 7600. Never had as large printer as that

Try and find out its history Paul, how hard a life it has had ... the best ones we've picked up have been owned from new by artists for their own printing, rather than been used in a commerical print shop, equally, ones owned by architects and only printing a few thin lines on large bit of paper, rather than full bleed artworks, or design students sometimes get them for uni as there is too much demand on the uni machines. Definitely look at the nozzle check before buying it, and don't buy if is isn't a full check. The nozzel check, and other reports can all be printed from the printer's own control panel without need for a computer to be hooked up, so easy to do, as long as there are some inks still in the printer. they can load A4 pages for this.
Glad you're happy with InkTec inks!

Thanks for that! I will keep my eye on them on ebay and ask some questions.

Yeah. Inktek is alright. It has One of the best gamuts once profiled corectly.

Be careful though, get the 7600 and you'll be wondering if you should have got the 9600!

[Paul]

Iam already looking for 9600 lol.
similar prices

[pisquee]

And once you've got your first one, you'll be wanting to buy a second for pigment ink printing!

[Paul]

Plan is to get one 7600 for sublimation and 9600 for canvas printing and ither oversized items... But... If i menge to get huge press then i may swap jobs for those printers

[pisquee]

We decided on the other way around, that for our artwork printing on papers to stick to the 7600, and the 9600 for sublimation work.

Hello Paul,

We have a couple of 4880's exDemo here which would save you cost and you would get Xpres support too?
Also the A1 upgrade is not much of a jump so most people just go A1, especially when you get leasing involved too!

I would recommend

Epson 4880
Epson SCT3000
Epson 7890

The latter being my favorite due to an 8 colour ink configuration with a large print width.
Happy hunting!
