Hi all,

Does anyone on here use a wide format sublimation printer?
I need to invest in a new sub printer and I'm looking at moving to wide format.
We print a lot of mugs, plastic cups, water bottles etc so the thing putting me off is how do you cope with cutting them all up before applying to the product.

At present we have a Ricoh set up with Mug sized paper so we just print them off then apply the paper.

Is cutting up time consuming. We do quite a high volume of sublimation and the small Ricoh's are taking a battering and they all need replacing soon.

Another consideration would be printing out on wide format. We have 3 permanent staff who do the design/artwork then print to sub printers.
Would this cause an issue? Will one person have to layout all the designs before printing to make best use of paper?

I'm not sure this method would work logistically.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Andy
