Re: question before I blow my cash

Someone only a 5 min drive away from me is selling a Ricoh SG3110DN printer a4 with sawgrass inks
and digital swing heat press with 39cm X 30cm bed.

Is this going to be large enough for T-shirts? or should I cough up and go for the a3 and a larger press?

Help appreciated

hold a fully printed piece of A4 paper against a t-shirt, and ask yourself if you think it is big enough.
(whatever printer/press you get, it will never be big enough! ;-)

Ha Thanks Pisquee,

Was doing that when your reply came through.
I was thinking it may have to be an a3 printer but read on another thread someone saying
they hardly ever need to go bigger than a4.

Cheers

It really depends on the market you are going for, what your designs are, and what your competition are doing.
