Hi everyone

Could any one please tell me roughly how many mugs I can expect to be able to print with 29ml cartridges on a Ricoh GXe3300 printer?
I understand how difficult this is to calculate but any estimates would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Derek

Its a difficult question to answer as the 1st lot of carts are used up quickly due to filling the long tubes. It would also depend on what kind of image you were printing - full wraps would use a hell of a lot more than basic text mugs.

Someone placed a guide on here a while back but haven't got a clue where it would be - sorry I don't have an answer for you!

John has carried the load here for me! We reckon (dependent on coverage) you'll get between 300-500 mugs on the first set of carts, but anything up to 700 and beyond on subsequent sets.

I think a good 500 after first set, we are near empty on our second set and have done about 1000 mugs.While ink cost is a factor, speed, convenience, and zero error mean I don't really think about it, 30p each? We also do some fabric too which I havnt factored in the maths....
