Hi I have been offered a HP Designjet Z2100 photo printer FOC

Would This be any good for sublimation or if not what would it be useful for?

[Justin]

No use for sublimation. I use one for my canvas work, stickers etc. Superb printer...at the right price

Pigment inks, not waterproof and need laminating to go outside.

If it's working and all heads are ok you're onto a winner. The heads are changed as easily as the carts and aren't too expensive.

Thanks Justin.

Someone wants to get rid as they need the space so it is free, may as well have it.

Picked up my free HP printer last night it came with all the leads, drivers and also 3 rolls of canvas.

Question is what ink do I use to try printing onto canvas and where is the best place to buy it, I just want to see if it works OK and then may sell on as way to big for my little room.

[Justin]

Try Catridge Save.

Thanks Justin, is it special inks for printing onto canvas?

[Justin]

Same inks for everything, canvas isn't water/scratch proof when printed, I use a hand gun to varnish.
