Hi and sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I'm a complete novice to this but would like to print onto ceramic cups and also nylon bags. My question is what printer do you recommend for a novice start up? Thanks.

Thanks but it's just a printer I'm after really. A cheap one too. [emoji6]

Go with a cheap Epsom printer to start with. Keep away from the WF series and look at the XP photo printer series. You can get a cheap A4 one for under £50 and a cheap A3 for about £100

Then you need to at least buy refillable cartridges - about £20 for a set of decent ones. And small 100ml sublimation ink set at about £25 for a reasonable cheap ink

Don't go for super cheap sublimation ink as they can damage the printer head if the ink hasn't been finely filtered before bottling.

So for A4 set up you should have a printer set up for about £100
