Which version of Corel Draw do you have? I can email the pdf for setting this up for you. Can you pm your email address to me?

Hi David,

I am currently looking at that printer. How are you finding it?

I've just bought another 1400, had problems with the last one but I like the printer so much I'm having another go. I've just ditched the Ricoh 5050. I find the print quality of the 1400 superior to many others. I used to work with an 8 colour Epson 4800 and still prefer the 1400 output.

I also run a D120 4 colour. Prints are excellent but side by side you really do notice a big difference, particularly in skin tones which will be down to the 6 colour system. A 4 colour system is more than adequate for sublimation but personally I find a 6 colour still improves the finished article.

Thanks Justin, I am looking at

So this will do the job and more? with adequate skin tones?

The 1400 is excellent and I'm sure you'll be pleased. Yes, you can buy it cheaper if bought Separately from the CIS but there's something to be said for buying it altogether, it makes support/warranty etc. a whole lot easier....as I've found in the past.

You could also consider the B1100. This is a 4 colour system (5 cart's as it uses 2 blacks) the same as the D120 but is an A3 printer.
This is a new printer to sublimation and hasn't been released yet but is due very soon.

Thanks man, I will ask if they price match may be. but I agree they are dye sub pros and do it all the time so I can not see them selling not good printers.

Thanks

Hi Kaz,

I have spoken to Mark about this, his wife is having a baby so things are up in the air. But I have told him I want one. Maybe if you email or call him. If there is enough people might them moving?

Thanks Doug, it will need to wait now as I've just bought a cutter/plotter for doing vinyls, but will keep an eye on the site

Martin I checked your site before suggesting Amazon. Just been back and checked why I didn't see it, because I clicked on the button that says Printers and it wasn't listed. May be worth covering that option ;)

Think they should be renamed Marmite Machines, you either love em or hate em :D

Personally I've gone away from using mine and prefer the single press.

The only problem, I have is that I want to print beer stiens and you can not do them in a press.

We print our standard beer steins in our mug press. Personally I use the DF1 for this.

Martin I checked your site before suggesting Amazon

Did you look in the *Printers*NEW* section from the link on the main page or Printers within the Sublimation section - tucked away within the Equipment part? Feedback's always welcome as I put things on the website where I think they should go but my logic might not be the same as anyone elses - now where did I put my keys... :x
