Printer only purchased back end of 2010 along with ciss.
Have tried all methods indicated in this thread including refillable carts, but to no avail.
Think I'll bin it and splash out on an A3 Ricoh........
May try the Magic Bullet method first!!
If that doesn't work then I'll use the Silver Bullet method.

...have you put ordinary ink cartridges in the printer to see if it prints okay? If it does then you know the printer is fine and it is just the ink flow in the sublimation ink causing the problem.

After loads of faffing on, Magic Bullet, soaking, head cleaning etc, the printer still won't print well.
Binned it and bought another B1100, £99.84 delivered. Will flush out existing carts and refill with Artanium.
Was considering a Ricoh but, at £100 I could buy 7 x B1100's !!

Tried ordinary carts, admittedly with subli ink. Still no joy!!
I'm in the process of trying the Magic Bullet thingy (with "Print-Ease").
Will be trying the printer tomorrow (Mon).
Been at work Sat/Sun from 6:00am-6:00pm both days (Oh, the joys of being a market trader!!)
