Newbie looking for advice on which printer to purchase

[valz99]

Hi guys,

i am currently printing t-shirts using a laser printer but i'm looking to get into sublimation. I've been looking at which printer to buy. I'm torn between 2 at the minute which are the Rikoh 3110dn and the Virtuoso SG400, so the Rikoh is about €200 cheaper than the virtuoso but i've seen that the Rikoh has been discontinued. I have also read that people say the that they are basically the same printer with a diff badge on it. The virtuoso comes with a design package also which seems quite good.

I guess i'm looking for peoples advice on which one to get and as this is all very new to me. Also maybe people have one of these printers and might give me advice on the experience you have had with the printer.

Also i would hate to fork out for the cheaper Rikoh only to be sorry i didnt spend the extra few pound on the Virtuoso.
any advice would be greatly appreciated

Take a look at the banner below, just gone up today, if it's the SG3110DN you're interested in DyeSubSupplies have a great offer on

I can recommend the Ricoh with the sublisplash inks having bought one from dyesub supplies a few months ago - works a treat for me.
