Hi folks, i've been away from here for what seems like an age!! We are currently flat out 6/7 day weeks (not complaining at the mo!) and i just have not had the time. I would love to go through these threads on printers but don't have the time at present, come winter, as always i will.

Now to put it blunt, I have to replace my epson printer today or tomorrow morn for a job, i'm sure many of you have been following the Ricoh feedback, is it a thumbs up ????

I only need a4 by the way. My Epson has run out of ink and i dont see the point of buying new artanium inks.

Really cheeky I know as i should be doing the investigating mysef but I am hoping fingers crossed someone has been looking into the feedback.
Thanks

Mandy

Ricoh for me. A bit costlier to run but headache free.

Thanks Mark, how long have you had yours now?

To be honest I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a hassle free life

Ricoh every time. When our 1400 finally crapped out, we got one in straight away. You won't be sorry!

I can't remember when I got it. Best part of a year ago, maybe more.

Never a single problem. With my Epson I never knew if I was in for a session of head cleans whenever I used it.

Thanks folks, now am i understanding right that I only get a power driver with the printer when ordering a full set of inks as well?
Unfortunately I didn't want to do this straight away so then i'd be stuck:frown:

Powerdriver should be available from sawgrass FOC.

This might seem like a silly question, but how are you going to print without a full set of inks?

AJLA

Ahhha never thought of that :biggrin: No Kaz u get a full set when you buy the printer, so I didn't want to get another at the same time.

Thanks John BTW

With all new Ricoh printers the PowerDriver software is included automatically. Should be common, sensible practice, from all sublimation suppliers.
