New printer - initial setup

[joker0]

Hi everyone!

Just experinced how much ink that was disposed in the initial setup (epson). (In to a waste ink tank) Dindn't measure but it would be some money down the drain if it was out of a say sawgrass chartridge.

Asking because I consider buying a ricoh with sublisplash. Do you recomend installing cheap ink in the initial setup? Then change to the sublimation ink once setup is done?

You will still need to run the ink through to flush the initial ink out of the system so likely it wouldn't pay.

100% No as you will need to flush the cheap ink out of the lines to get the "good" ink through, Yes you will waste a lot of ink filling the lines on first setup but you only need to do this once so bite the bullet and get good ink from the start

Weren't Dye Sub Supplies offering a second set with your first purchase?

You get 2 sets with the swap out kit Justin. However it looks like joker0 is looking at a brand new set up not swapping out so the new Ricoh comes with only one set as per any other new printer.
