well i've gone and done peeps i've brought the ricoh GXe7700 today

i've got epson 1400 CIS system at the moment 6th printer in 1 year, (i know and it the truth 6th printer all epson 1400) and my current one just keeps loosing the ink when i nozzle check, and i've have to keep head cleaning it (on my 4th set so far today and still the colour not back)

little nervous bout it all cause it so much money but i've read and been advised they so much better and i won't have to do so many head cleans if any (fingers and toes crossed)

now just to wait till friday for delivery then weekend try and install it and the powerdriver

thought i just share

Wow, good for you, do you do a lot of A3 stuff then?

Have fun BTW

i do do a lot of A3 printing, i sell 3 different bags so i use A3 paper for them and on the odd occassion i sell sunscreens

I've dabbled in the sun screens but didn't sell too manu unfortunately, bags i've never tried, not anyway yet.

I can't remember colglyn, is it ebay or on line selling you are doing?

will turning it into a dye sub machine give more consistent results than the 3300 please?

I'm expecting them in today Harry so you'll hopefully have it tomorrow. Hope you get on well with it!

Scratch that, I've just received them and your printer has now been booked with ParcelForce!

I don't have the Ricoh myself but I believe that if you're used to doing A3+/13" wide printing, you'll need the extra bypass tray in order to achieve the same thing. I'm sure someone will clarify.

Thanks [EMAIL="Scotty@BMS]Scotty@BMS[/EMAIL], got the email to say delivery and tracking number, well i hope as it is the A3 printer it should have the this "extra bypass tray" but i will wait and see tomorrow night when i get home from work, then start banging my head against the wall when trying to set it all up

There's a difference between A3 (297mm x 420mm) and A3+ (13" x 19"). I believe the Ricoh is capable of doing A3 out-of-the-box, but in order to take advantage of A3+ you need the bypass tray. That's how I understand it.
