Hi,

I missed out on one on eBay today. Went for £770 :(

Is there anyone here who uses this printer on a daily basis to print tshirts? Would you recommend it? I have an Adkins press.

The printer was demonstrated to me at the Printshow Live by TMT, It looked very impressive.

Thanks

that one needed a new white toner cart at over 300 quid a pop.

What about the remanufactured ones for £100?

i have the sunangel 32wb which I'm looking at selling due to registration issues (I'm using it with a OKI C841cn)

just wanted to know if they are worth buying.

Are they worth buying? Ask yourself how many dark t.shirts you will print that cannot be printed using vinyl.
If you need to print one colour prints that are too complicated to weed then you could look at the Oki black and white printer and use the TMT foil systems. Ask TMT.
I have the Oki white but must confess that I use it more for the foils than for multi colour prints. But that is my print shop, yours might be more orientated to printing multi colour prints , in which case the Oki white would be worth buying.
I have no experience with suppliers of these printers but I would always buy the origional colour toners. If you can afford to buy a 2,000 pound printer then you should be able to buy a 300 pound toner.
