Greetings from London

Hi,

I found this forum after searching Google for someone to make a custom ICC profile for my Epson Pro 4400 loaded with sublimation inks, and found a thread and ebay sale from Paul, who is being very helpful.

Mainly our my sublimation work is for my wife who is a textile artist, who uses sublimation to print onto fabrics, which get stretched around frames, or turned into cushions, scarves, bags etc. We do also do some ceramics - mugs, coasters.

Our studio has a few heat presses, from a couple of little Adkins which are about 10cm square, upto a double A2 size Adkins Omega 8000, and then some cheap Chinese ones too, along with a Jarin mug press.
On the digital side, we have two large Epsons, a 4400 with sublimation inks, and a 4000 with normal inks, along with a Contex FSC5010 large format scanner.

Due to the amount of work we do that involves sublimation (both through the Epson, and with paint brushes!) we have to buy inks and powders in bulk. Because of this, I am now selling spare stock of Inktec's (Sawgrass licensed) sublimation inks on ebay. I don't want this to be an advert, so won't link, but am easy to find there if you want it. Although, as I know there may be interest from people here, I thought it best to say hello, and say I am open to discussion/queries.

Hi there and welcome to the forum

As far as I'm aware Inktec are not licensed for small format printers which the vast majority of members will be using. There was a little confusion when a Supplier first announced that the licence had been granted. Did Sawgrass not provide a profile for the 4400?

Hi and welcome. From memory Justin's right and the Epsons you mention aren't considered wide format.

i thought we did not like to venture into "off topics" in the intro section ...... and from the forum owner as well, justin slap your own wrist lol


pisquee, welcome to the forum enjoy

[Justin]

It's my trainset.......

You're absolutely right, this section should be for new member introductions only and not questions. Slap on the wrist accepted now get back on topic!

[pisquee]

Can we split/move/copy the topic to continue the discussion?

[Justin]

Sure can, let me know what title you want it under and I'll split off, probably into the General Dye Sub section....I'll have a tidy and get rid of irrelevant responses as well

Can we go for Sawgrass Patent Discussion?

Welcome to the forum - I cannot see your ebay listing lasting too long before it's pulled though!
