    Noob here, is this a good sublimation printer?

    I'm looking at buying a heatpress machine for phone cases mainly, and trying to figure out what sort of printer to use. I live in Canada not the UK as I know this is a UK forum but I hope someone can help me out.

    Would something like this work? What am I looking for?

    Thanks

    Hi there, we based in the UK but have member world-wide :-)

    This printer is the replacement for the excellent outgoing Epson 1500W. I do know one of the suppliers here in then UK is about to put one on test for sublimation but this will take a couple of months to check all is ok. There carts use sponge for example.

    Is the 1500W still available in Canada?

    how would it cope with the colours being CMYK Red and Light Grey

    Does the ICC profile account for the colour per channel being changed? For example could i put a blue cart where my yellow should go and then instruct the printer i did that by ICC? (i wouldnt want to, just intrigued?)

    The 1500W isn't available in Canada as far as I have seen. Thanks for the response.

    As Justin said the XP-15000 is the replacement for the 1500W, which has been a great model for sublimation printing here in the UK.

    XP-15000 testing will begin as soon as we can get some refillable cartridges or resettable chips to allow us to actually get some sublimation ink into the printer. It will be an interesting one due to the grey and red inks.

    We have been speaking with Inktec and may well be using their red ink (from an R1800 series) and a light black / light light black ink (from an Epson Pro wide format model) to substitute the grey.

    I would say a custom ICC profile will bring the inks back into line should they differ greatly to the OEM ink colours but only time will tell.

    I have an XP-15000 here and ready to test, we have been playing with the standard dye inks for now and have drained out some of the inks to be sent away for testing and to have 3rd party standard dye inks made to suit it.

    We will use the standard OEM ink set when we come to try to match up a dye sub ink set in the coming months.

    Oh and the US / CA equivalent to the 1500W is actually the Epson Stylus Photo 1430 which I believe is still available as I looked at getting some to replace out depleting stocks of 1500W.

    The 1500w is sold as the Artisan 1430 in North America. The only difference is that the drivers of the 1430 will use US paper sizes not ISO A, B and C sizes. ( Voltage might be different ).

    From some of the US forums the 1430 has been discontinued, so grab one while you can.
